New life for an old 340 (stock stroke)
Picked this pretty nice '70 340 block up to build. Some of you know that I'm not the biggest advocate of long arm crank throws and this build will uphold that. I believe the stock stroke 340 WAS an excellent engine design back in the day and want to see what can be done with one now. The plan: Build a 340 with X heads and solid lifter cam for some high rpm fun. Target 450-475 HP @ 6000+ rpm
The package:
' 70 340 block 4.100" bore 10.5-10.6 comp target
stock steel forged crankshaft
Scat I beams 6.123"
SRP 4.100" flat tops 1.804" cht (before anyone asks, yes they are making them for me)
Custom Comp Cam (see photo)
X casting heads w/Ferrea 2.02/1.60 hollow stem valves
Torker II intake
Rockers (undecided as of yet) Hughes 1.6 or Crane 1.6 or possible 273 iron
Really looking forward to this one. J.Rob
