Here is a thread about RHS heads:

If you can afford a 4" stroke crank they make great torque and are ideal for street cars. It will give you the feeling of a big block but without the weight.

I have been following that head thread, and would love to have them. But for my application, I think the stock ones may make more sense.

OH Yeah, that 4 inch crank has been calling me since they released it. I have a buddy that is running mid 9s with one

I am that guy, don't race, mostly just joy rides, its just a toy. I like the feeling of massive gobs of torque, the thrill of driving a car with a lot of power. Is it practical? Absolutely not! But I get a smile on my face every time I take my car for a drive and to me that is what it is all about.

X2, it is amazing how that .200 changed the manners of the 340. I have had a lot of 340s, but this one is really different, it is a lot torquier but still kind of winds like a 340.

Honestly, I would fix the 340 for a lot less money. You can fix this in one of 3 ways. 1 Buy custom dished pistons for your assy and have it re ballanced. 2 Put a stock 340 crank in it with lower compression pistons or 3 Buy a rotating assy stroker or otherwise to install in the engine. Low machine work costs due to the fact of leaving everything the same and just cleaning the 340 up and having it puff honed. It's hands down the cheapest way to go and still get what you want. IMO.:toothy10:

I have thought about that option, a lot, thank you. Already have the nice block, and rods, so the crank, pistons and heads would be the only big ticket items.
The current pistons are badass, and just plain pretty to look at. Maybe they could be sold at a swap meet, but with the odd pin height, nobody is stopping at .200 stroking so they would probably just become paper weights. I hate the thought of that.
