Mopar's got a new block, well not so new, but new-ish. I've been eying it for the longest time contemplating upon what sort of build I'd go with --

I'd go for the siamese bore with the 48 degree lifter angle, anyways to the point disregarding all the other parts. There was an article on building up a 2 hp per 1 CI and the article mentioned since its still a newish block there's some technical problems needing to be addressed.... I keep wondering if I'd be able to fit a weber style manifold with hidden efi, it'd look like carbs but the jets would be hidden. Nevermind the fuel rail/throttles. It's the manifold I'm worried about. Chevy and ford has plenty of em out the *** but I can't find many that'd fit a mopar 340... and since the blocks new, would I encounter any problems or does anyone know of a direct fit?.... might have to get crafty with the ole torch and rod.


Hm, found something with a bit of searching, still open to suggestions and if anyone else is curious --

Just found out about hilborn.... forgot about those guys. The prices are nuts :(
 
There is a company that builds an EFI unit that looks like a 6 pak.
 
Hell with it. I'll just stick with a single plane manifold. Sure hilborn gets mad badass points, but I can;t justify spending 2,000+ on a manifold alone.

Outside the block and 70-72 duster I'm not 100% sure. There's an article I was reading up on and going to use it as a general guideline

The numbers are seriously impressive. I'm guessing the build costed those guys close to 7,000-10,000...

For a moment lets pretend I'm stinkin rich and have access to the best garage in the world and unlimited free time and mad skillz.

I'd grab an 1970-1972 duster and strip the body bare naked, probably copy troy trepainer's torino in the sense of smoothing out the firewall and making a custom bay ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rad-Rides-by-Troy-Inc/197215866957536 ) but not as insane........ weld up a full tube chassis drag style, 4 link rear coil over/gas A-arm front on gas/coil over, rack and pinion with power steering, no AC but keep heater/wiper motor. Smooth out the bump in the hood the little line thingie, black it out, roll and smooth the bumpers into the body more so it's more cleaner, thinkin a red or orange, 16" on front 17" on rear wheels, old school cragar with blacked out centers, exhaust would just be powder coated hookers into a X exhaust dual tail pipes 2" slate grey/red interior with custom hand made dash and MSD Lazer gauges for oil/water temp/bat but stock rally for mph/rev/fuel -- torqueflite 727 automatic, as for rear gears 4:10 not sure what brand, lots of members seem to say det lockers? Hoping for 300-400 hp around 3,000-5,000 rpm, good idle characterstics for street but can still blast the britches off a big block at the strip. A street fighter.
