Hi, building a 340 stroker. Already Have heads, forged rotating assembly etc. Looking for a good rebuildable short engine or block & main caps. Consider complete used good long engine but prefer short eng. Max .20 over. Any leads also appreciated.

So if I haven't chosen the cam yet, then use the 1.5 and the desired lift/duration with the cam, rather than trying to gain with a 1.6 ratio - right???

What factors need to be considered when deciding on installing 1.5 vs. 1.6 ratio rocker arms? I'm starting to but parts for an engine build and can't seem to figure this one out?

I am considering replacing my 340's iron heads with aluminum ones but want to retain the stock look. Can aluminum heads be painted and retain the paint over a long period of time?

Thanks for the replies. I think I will go with rebuilding the 340. Indy x heads are also a good suggestion. Any suggestions on where to source striker crank/rods etc?

Didn't have any luck searching the subject. Any suggestions?

Hi there. I need some advice... I have a 70 Challenger T/A clone. The 340 is running the six pack set up, but is tired and ready for rebuild. I want to build a stroker engine and retain the stock external appearance and the six pack. This is where the questions start... Should I choose a...
