I have a stock 73 340 on an engine stand that I am cleaning up for my 74 Duster. It hasn't been ran in about 10 years. I tore it down to the shortblock and want to get the heads redone. I've heard the larger valves make a big difference. Am I ok with having larger valves put in at the machine shop, doing some minor port and polishing and keeping the stock low compression pistons?? I am looking for a nice street car. Nothing to crazy, but want some power. I know I want a new cam also, something a notch or so above stock. Probably stock intake with some porting unless I should upgrade. Headers, dual exhaust also in the plant. I know I can just keep spending money if I want. I am debating on the pistons also, are they a good bang for the buck upgrade?? Or am I safe with the stockers and doing the heads only.. I know it is much easier to do things now while the motor is out...
Thanks for any advice...
