Choosing the right stroke for a 340

@340inabbody you mentioned nothing else about the rest of the build besides stroke so let’s start there.

My ‘68 340 GTS sports stock manifolds and exhaust, a 284/484 cam, edelbrock replacement 625 carb. It needed to be rebuilt. I went the 3.58” stroke route given the limitations of the intake and exhaust systems.

My oldest son built a 4” stroke motor, ported aluminum heads, single plane port EFI system, race headers and 3”
Exhaust.

Both work great for their intended application, what’s your application?

even with stock intake and exhaust, and all else the same… the 4” stroke would up the HP and Torque.
