MRL 340 for the 21st Century

I gotta say there Mike, I'm a believer. I know you've experimented for a long time on building punting-pahtoot stock stroke small blocks.

It also make me wonder what will happen to anyone else, should they be bold enough to publish what they have done, if it exceeds normal expectations.

I suppose if Cody and I fail miserably with the LAX heads on the stroker, at least some people will feel sorry for us..........that's what we will do.........we'll only tell about it if we fail......that way we don't have to put up with a bunch of poopoo.

Okay then, I'm off to work on the failure!

Jim I'm not saying I disbelieve but I would love to know more-No cam specs, flow numbers, no details etc.. I would love to see the BSAC and VE and CFM because maybe just maybe there is more to be had. I mean everyone always brags about how good the 340 is for RPM and yet this one peaks @ 6200. That is not a revver in my book and almost 540 HP @ 6200 rpm would be a VE of almost 110% if I guessed at it ( 108-109%) No doubt the cylinders are getting filled and filled well but what kind of "tricks" were employed because this engine is a "trick" piece going by the number. I'd love to know more! J.Rob

p.s. I publish WAY more than most good or bad.
