Was it a roller motor or one of the restrictor motors? Some make a bit more power but it seems most are around 830. What's the car weigh? 60ft? What is the converter?
I came so close to going with one of them but they require such a high stall speed it just didn't seem logical for a car I still street drive

It's not the fastest listed so far but a friend of mine has a scamp 340 running in the tens with a four speed.
Car weights might give us a interesting look at some of these times too!

Hi, I used to run a '71 340 Cuda, all steel in the 80's at S-Pod, when I bought the car it was running 13.3's with a stock 340, 10.3:1, +.484" purple cam, 727 with shift kit, B&M S/Holeshot verter, 3.55 gears and 8x26 slicks.
I added a DC .590 solid cam, 850dp, 4.30 gears, Manual 727, 4200 verter, 10x28's and went a best of 12.3@108.5, stock front susp. with worn shocks, stock springs with a snubber. I guess there was a lot of time in that car with ported heads, more verter and gears/rpm as I only went to aroud 6500, getting some weight off would've been a plus!

My D50 has a pump gas 340 stroked to 394. Drive to track and ran a best of 6.29 @ 109 with a 1.33 60 ft. so far through the mufflers drag radials and home made caltrac bars, 2950 lbs. I think that is in the 9.80 range in the 1/4. All motor.

I don't remember his name for certain...it has been a while since I have seen a post from him on Moparts...I think his name on Moparts was something like SS/ST??? Vic Bloomer rings a bell, but I'm not sure....the car looks like this (same color and body style).

Did he give you any details? Low compression and iron heads in the 9's is cool.

It has a stock 727 with a reverse manual valve body. I want to go to a 904 with a trans brake and run in some of the local heads up races.
His name on moparts is S/ST 3040 - Vic Bloomer.
I bought all my parts in my motor from him.
YES, S/ST 3040 is his name on Moparts, thanks D-50394....I hate getting old and not being able to remember stuff, lol.
DennisH, I remember his car being REALLY light weight. Here is his sig info from Moparts from 2 years ago:
"349" OEM Head, 1.88" valve, 9.24:1 Pump Gas
1.322 60 ft. 6.18 @ 109.01 9.86 @ 131.06 MPH (so far)"
....And (oddly enough) the pic I have above is of his car....crazy coincidence, because I was just looking for a pic of a blue Barracuda.
What trans were you running, low first or not, rear end gears and tire size please?

Vic is my brother. This is the first pass he made in the 9"s. It leaves harder nowadays. Pay no attention to the woman cackling at the end. The car has been 9.70's so far and should surpass that this year. But, like everything we will see. He likes to be different than everyone else, so he won't put a stroker in it because as he says, there's no challenge in that.
