A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel
I killed the some rod bearings in my 69 Valiant’s 340 and want to build a new engine for it over the winter, something modern with EFI and air conditioning possibly a magnum roller cam engine with EFI and air conditioning or a Gen III Hemi. I have a 72 Scamp that is sitting with no power train and figured that since I have a good 340 block and heads that it would be a good time to build a mild stroker to put in it and get it back on the road again.
What I want to build is a low RPM engine ( under 5000 ) that makes lots of low end power that I can run on low octane pump gas and be dead nuts reliable. I have a well built 727 and 2500-3000 stall convertor that I will use along with 2.94 sure grip center section and 28” tall tire.
The 340 currently has a 480/500 solid lifter cam and ported J heads with roller rockers that are all in good condition, I could re-use the cam or go with something different depending on suggestions.
So my question is what stroker kit should I be looking at for this kind of combo and should I keep the cam? Thanks
