crank and rods for 340

hey duster harry, is your car strip only or does it see some regular street driving as well.

The recommended that I have seen in many tech articles in different Mopar magazines is; after 500-550hp higher end bottom parts(stout) are required such as the four bolt mains etc. I was also told I would need the 340 R or X block or the new MP siamese reproduction block if I wanted to put out 500 hp to the rear wheels. Which is approximately 600HP at the engine as the stock block would not hold. I plan to build a 340 stroker as well but I have a long ways to go on the car itself before I get to that stage. Hope this helps
