Thanks to many guys on this forum my 340 is running great. It's in a 71 Demon, 4 speed, 4:10 rear end.
Equipped with a Mopar 508 cam, Holley 750DP, Edelbrock RPM Air gap intake, Hughes roller rockers, Dougs headers and Accel multi strike ignition. I believe I finally have an outstanding tune on the engine. It's REAL strong.
The problem is, I want more performance...and, since it's an original car, I don't want to throw a rod or something. My problem is although I take very good care of the car, I also like to run it hard on occasion.
I have spoken with 3 guys who have engines from the builer below and all are happy. I've been burned on a crate years ago and have cold feet.
This company seems to have an outstanding rep among the local Mopar crowd.
Please take a look at the stats and tell me what you guys think of the motor below. Wondering if it will give me a real noticable difference, seat of the pants, or not.
Except for the seasoned and SONIC TESTED block, this engine is all NEW. The block assembly is equipped with forged pistons, moly rings, brass expansion plugs, cast steel 4.00" Stroker crankshaft, 4340 forged steel rods, and Clevite bearings.
The longblock is further equipped with EDELBROCK performance aluminum heads, 2.02"/1.6" diameter stainless steel valves, performance pushrods, valve springs, hydraulic lifters, Stainless steel roller rocker arms, true roller timing set and a camshaft with over .540" lift and 290/240 degrees duration.
It is expertly machined, balanced, blueprinted, plate honed, line honed, and decked. It has been assembled by a highly capable technician and spin tested to check oil pressure, compression and oil circulation!
Added to the complete version are oil pan, oil pump, oil pump screen, timing cover, harmonic balancer, polished aluminum valve covers, dual plane performance aluminum intake manifold, oil filter, oil filter adapter, dipstick, and spark plugs.
To remove the possibility of "New Engine Bugs", our complete versions are then dynamometer tested and "broken-in" with the proper carburetor, a performance distributor and quality headers and mufflers. The actual Dyno sheet from the dyno printer, not a copy or generic, is provided with the engine. A final crankcase pressure test and oil filter internal inspection is performed.
When used with the recommended accessories, this engine is guaranteed to produce over 450 horsepower at around 5500 RPM and over 500 foot-pounds of torque at around 4000 RPM.
It will have approximately 10.5 to 1 compression ratio and will have a "Rough" High Performance idle. It will have lower manifold vacuum and needs quality headers and exhaust system in order to produce the advertised horsepower.
We recommended a 2800 to 3500 RPM stall torque converter to realize the maximum performance potential of the engine.
