4'' scat stroker kit would do both rather well .

340's respond well to just "bolt on" stuff. for a quick 50 horse power, here's my 2 cents: holley 750 double pump with mechanical secondaries; a good aluminum manifold like an edlebrock "high rise" or "x-manifold"; headers, a hotter mallory ignition/coil; hotter spark plugs; a viscous radiator fan; a good exhaust system with low restriction mufflers in either an "X" pipe or "H" pipe design. i would also suggest a good "racing" motor oil and if you don't already have one - a mopar "unsilenced" air cleaner. as a final point, and some FABO folks here will laugh because this is realy "old school" but there used to be kits called "cool cans" which were basically a large aluminum can with a copper coil in it that you hooked up to the fuel line right before the carb. when you were getting ready to "street race", you would go to a hamburger joint, get a couple large cups of ice and dump them into the can. the ice "cools" the gas before it goes through the carb and results in a hotter/faster detonation. cool cans were probably good for a tenth of a second at the drag strip - and will really impress your buddies right before a street race.
good luck... !! :0)
