360 Magnum vs 340 mild street build - my experience

  • They are the "unported" SM heads. 730 to my front door on Black Friday Sale is what I paid.
  • I don't know the power of the engine, there are "ball park calculators" online that can try an guess. It runs 12.9's with 3.23's, stock converter, and about 3400 lbs at the start line. My cam is very small (less than a factory 340), so I am NOT taking advantage of the heads.
  • Fully ported Magnum heads would outflow my "untouched" SM heads is what I'd guess.
  • Keep in mind, the car only went about 2 tenths faster with the SM heads vs untouched stock 360 heads. Again, that would be due to the small cam in my opinion.
How do u like the converter you have in your truck? The Hughes I think it’s a 24-30. I know everyone says get a custom converter etc….. but for off the shelf what is your opinion of it? Thanks
