Lets build a CHEAP(!!!!!!!) bracket motor!
A stock 340 is 275 hp....kinda far from 400, no?
ChuckDock, sorry, I’m in posting hell. I’m having a hell of getting things working over here. Weather, dead spots on the train ride home, this F’in **** sucks and that’s just being F’in nice about it.
To answer your question.....
Yes and no. It would easily exceed the dollar amount due to cylinder deficiencies IMO. The LA head doesn’t really flow though it isn’t horrendous. Once it has a good head on top, EZ PZ. Otherwise with a stock head, it may require more cam than one might be happy with, at least in the street.
Regardless, this is a theoretical bracket engine build up and probably some real deal set ups as well.
Being the thread starter went with a 5.9 Magnum, I’ll stick with that engine as to me, it is more on topic and a 340 isn’t cheap.
And cheap is the theme.
