340 Build

Does it have a stock Mopar 4 speed trans and 3.73 gears?

25 or so years ago I had a 10.5:1 340 in my 68 Satellite running 11.60’s@117........ but it didn’t have a 4 speed and 3.73 rear gears.



I guess we’ll have to wait for clarification....... I thought it was a typo for “833”.

If it’s an RPM headed 433 in a small car like that, and it’s set up even 1/2 way “right”, it should go 10’s.

Going quick with a stick car is mostly about “the car”.
Making enough power with a stock stroke 340 to run 11’s in a 66 valiant is absolutely “no problemo”.
It’s the stick that throws the wrench in the works.
If it’s a “race car”, it’s easier....... you buy all the good stuff so you can leave at 5 or 6k and not worry about it.
It’s a very tiny fraction of the stick shift street/strip combos that have the good stuff between the crank flange and the axle flange.
On my buddies stick shift Stocker....... that stuff costs way more than his motor does.
Yes sorry 833 it is, I just wanted 340 4 speed cause it's cool, but the car just doesn't pull like it should
