340 vrs 360

Slant six

Call up Erson for a cam, find a set of clifford two peice headers on ebag or hit summit for some hooker super comps, go on ebag and get a clifford 4 barrel intake or find an offy on ebag or summit, get a holley 390 with vaccum secondaries to slap on top. Take your head, gasket match all the ports on the manifold and the head, do a multi-angle valve job and use 1.70" intake valves and 1.40" exhaust valves. CC the head and mill the block intill you achieve a 10:1 compression ratio. Build the short block with a Weisco 198 long rod k-1 combo and one of Doug Dutra's trick oil pumps. If you wanna run regular pump gas, use a water methonal injection kit to up your octane. Upgrade the ignition to a '73 spec electonic model, use the orange box and a petronix high fire II coil. Run NGK plugs from a 1999 intrepid, remove the medal washer off the plug first. set your gap to .040". On the Exhaust side, run a full 2-1/4" dual exhaust with an x-pipe and your choice of mufflers.

All in all, probably about two thousand dollars more than a 340 or 360,just as fast, more fuel efficent and much more impressive when you pop the hood...
