Stroke out an inexpesive 360 and go from there. Much cheaper than a big block and has the small block weight and big block torque. Yes as stated above..ALL 340 4 speed's in '68 had that cam. '69 and on later, ALL 340's had same cam ('68 auto cam). Terry.

Not true. A balanced stroker kit for a 400ci BB which will give you 500ci is $1600 balanced w/bearings, rods, pistons, rings.

The same kit with all the same will cost $2150 for the 360. A set of Aluminum Edelbrock heads cost $1350 for each motor, same on the carbs, intakes, headers, Trans, etc. This the whole reason I gave up my plans for a 408 stroker was when I priced both out, I was surprised to find out 500ci was $800 cheaper than a 408.
