#'s Matching 340 build

True, but the “Bags of Money” statement is on behalf of the cars owner and not knowing his wallet thickness, willingness to go big, etc...

From the owners point of view, it could be as simple as a thought process like... If the engine just needs a crank polishing/cutting and new slugs, is this cost effective to what I’m thinking vs. a 4 inch stroker?

I don’t know the mind set or desires of the owner. Or his knowledge base of what’s out there. He could be clueless or semi clued in. A good example of this are a few guys at work that know some stuff and think all stroker packages are a $2500 deal, then machining, then balancing, then assembled by the machinist...

We are into the hobby or in biz. Most of know better. He may not. So that’s where I got it from.

Never mind about the power return, which is cheaper to build?
Can sufficient power be made with the smaller CID?
(Clearly a personal and goal oriented view.)
Also a lot is what you can get away with.
The owner said make power. That’s a wide open field. The only thing I read otherwise which I maybe mistaken or assumed, was to stick with the 340. Which means to me, not a stroker. I don’t know? Am I wrong? Ehhhh, doesn’t really matter I guess. It’s just fun shooting the breeze on this.
