Cruise friendly low 12's with a 340 Dart

By cruising I mean, sunday drives, car shows, driving back and forth to tracks a several hours away. Still only 2-3 thousand miles per year.

Well, it sounds like my best bet (and likely cheapest) it to buy a stroker kit for my 340 and combine that with either an overdrive 518 or gear vendors overdrive for my 727. I thought about ordering a stroker crate motor and then selling my 340 to offset some of the cost but with a stroker crate at $6k plus and my mild 340 only worth $600-$800, it's a big expense.

In the mean time, I'll install the dynamic converter and TTI headers and establish a new baseline to work from.

Can you guys help me lay out the expense of the stroker parts. Who sells good kits ect..

costs for....

stroker kit
intake
new carb
headers
heads
cam

new ring and pinion
built 518 cost vs gear vendors cost
driveshaft ( I guess mine can be cut down)
