Surprise! Now what...
OK, so a week or so ago, I opened up the 340 out of my car and found this.
The good thing is I've got the numbers matching motor that has a spun big end bearing. I wasn't planning for this so I'm on a budget. I'm not planning any strip time, and just want a healthy street car that's torquey and fun to drive. This is what I'm thinking. Stroke it with a SCAT 4" forged crank, and rods and use the stock heads (refreshed). The original crank is OK, but would need cleaned up, but I was thinking that stroking it would provide plenty of torque and extra cubes. The car has 410 gears, and I've got a Holley 750 with Strip Dominator intake, headers and 3" exhaust.
Thuoghts are appreciated.
Thanks!
