New to the forum, old to the hobby.

[418GTS]

Hey folks, decided to join the forum now that I have time to focus on my car. Bought a 69 GTS from my dad 5 years ago. The car has been in the family for 15 years. It's a run of the mill 340 4 speed dart GTS. That I have turned in to a 418 stroker. I hope to have it on the road by spring.

Thanks guys for the welcome aboard!
You're right nothing run of the mill about a 340 GTS! :burnout: It was fun before I built the engine. I used Hughes 340 stroker kit, forged 40 over pistons and their HEH2832AL cam. Edlebrock air gap and for now just to run it a Holley 600, while my 750 get fixed. Plus a Falcon clutch with hemi springs in the pressure plate. It runs through TTI headers and TTI 2.5 inch H-pipe exhaust. I have not got it on the road yet, soon though.
