Engine Build Ideas...PLEASE HELP.

You guys are getting into a debate about rollerrized cam, lifters, and I don't think thats in the budget.

I'm kinda thinking of doing the 340. keeping the crank and rods.
Heads seam expensive, but prob the best way to make some HP, instead of buying some aluminum heads, can I make my 1972 340 heads bigger, and better.

thinking about this engine Kit for $634

My exhaust isn't guna hold up much longer, and its only 2 inch , if that. so I will buy the summit 2.5 inch for $200

I have a couple Aluminum intakes kicking around. and I have a brand new 650 carb on the car right now. ( I know, It's not guna be big enough, but I want to do a cheap build.

What kind of HP might that be 300? 350?


So what would the machining costs be on the block? and what needs to be done to the block?

as well as What can be done to the heads.?

and if I were to go make a BIG purchase, would it be better to buy aluminum heads, or a stroker kit?

Like I said, I have never done a rebuild befor, so this is a learning experience for me. :book:

Thanks ahead of time.
