High 12's, low 13's on motor....low 12's on the bottle :binky:
My guess exactly.....
High 12's, low 13's on motor....low 12's on the bottle :binky:
Convertor...........needs at least 4500 stall.
340'S run better with gear and stall.
12 seconds on juice....13 seconds on motor.
With convertor....12 seconds on motor and high 11 seconds on juice.
That's a really big tire for 3.91's.
I believe it's a 30 inch tall tire.
That's like running a 28 inch tall tire with 3.23's.(2800 stall)
It's 60 foot will be very slow.
While your engine is being built,find a reputable torque convertor supplier and give him all your specs(tire size,gear,camshaft,(spray),suspension,intended use for the car(street?track on weekends?)The convertors made today are allot different than 10-15 yrs ago.Often an overlooked part for any type of street/muscle car build.

Thanks guys. I've got a hold of a 4.30 I might be purchasing this week.
I never knew that 30" tall tire would make such a difference. Now about the convertor. What stall would everyone think is appropriate. I know now that mine is obviously to low.
So what stall would you recommend??
3500.....???
anything taller then a 28 inch tire, the wheel well needs to be modified. the tire will rub on the front lip...
I missed the 30" tire.
Nowhere near enough gear for a 340 and 30" tire. It would like that gear on the juice, no chance on motor.
26-28" tire would be good, it really needs 4.56 or bigger to work well with that tire.
My first good laugh this evening Rob Do you think he will smoke'em on the line and not get a bite , he may have to peddle it off the line but I think after a few runs he will get it down pat :cheers:
Mmmmk ?????
I'm confused about this comment.
Thanks to others with serious comments and advice.
