Old Race 340 Teardown

When I first started racing this stuff was just coming out, the kit car engines were the new thing and were really looked up to in circle track racing. I have raced the 355 engines for many years. There were aluminum rods for drag guys and the standard heavy I beam for the circle guys. A set of these were for sale on here alittle while ago, these were all stock length, I guess maybe someone could of had something trick made. Mopar and Keith black were the cranks we ran. To go with a longer stroke it was either custom or offset ground. The w-2 heads were new and the Bible is what you had to digest it all with. A friend of mine seen the D.C. Book and crapped his pants that the factory had a 2" thick book about building engines, he was a chevy guy. This brings up a lot of good memories, life was good back then if you had a mopar.
