Homemade 340 ###

One of my old machinists called it the perfect small block. Said he loved them. That bore to stroke ratio he loved in addition to the long rod is what he and I really like about it. It’s also what I like about the B series engines as well.

Reminds me of a time when I was fooling around with a father and son in there Monte Carlo SS while I was in my Magnum. When we got to the next light we had a quick chat where I down played everything but told the truth.when I asked him what he was sporting under the hood, they said it was a 383. Not very impressive and even more so since I had not a lot of modifications to my mill but there’s was a huge list of garbage done.

They were all smiles until I lifted the hood where they seen what is basically a pile of greasy crap and very old aluminum. I think they left upset. Not to sure but there smiles were gone. Nice car though. I was just surprise on how slow it was for the list of parts they pounded there chest on.

Think before you build only cams to mind.
Build it right the first time fellas!
