Josh(69 Valiant)
Hey everyone, the other day while stumbling in the barns on my family's property, I came across the gold mine my dad built up of LA parts. I found a set of 340 heads(still in plastic!) and 5 or 6 360/340 intakes for 4 barrels. I wanted to put something a little hotter in my Valiant for a while now, and possibly turn it into a street/track car, but I have been at a loss for an engine, and now that I've come across a set of heads and a couple intakes, my question is, what block do I go with? I'm assuming lots of parts for the LA engines interchange, and since you have to give an arm and a leg for 340 blocks, I'm wondering if I would be better off finding a 360 block, or going with a 318 block, as one could almost trip over them in the local yards. I want to shoot for 300-320 hp, and at least 270 lbs of torque. I'm only in high school with a very low income job, so I would like to achieve this as cheaply as humanly possible.
So, FABO, what do I do?
