340 stroker

Getting back to the 340 block and the 360 crank combo, this old tyme poor mans stroker is an interesting combo that I like. While true it is likened to only a highly overbore 360. It is the big bore that makes it attractive IMO.

(I’d like to even see such a combo of the stroke and a bigger bore.)

It will run very similar to a 360 but with a little more top end pop since the bigger bore will hand out such performance. Street or strip performance should be really good with it. If money is tight, a set or prepped Edelbrock heads will do the job as opposed to the need of a bigger more capable head being fully ported for maximum efforts and returns. The Edelbrock heads are fine for a street engine without porting. Though size limited in there stock configuration, they should be OK for a street runner @ 373 cubes.
