'71 Demon Pro Street/Touring
Rodzilla, i was meaning to ask you about your 416 stroker how's at coming along.
Machine shop called yesterday after their initial once over on my block, mag & sonic test and checking lifter bores, I got some great news so far. Its a solid foundation to start, and he said its one of the thickest walled stock 340 blocks he has ever seen, and he's been at this for 30 yrs. Even lifter bores have excellent tolerences, but I plan to sleeve them anyways for strength and oil control. This is a '73 340 incase I hadn't mentioned it before. Rest of the block is to be bored/honed +.030 over, and new billet main caps are to be line bored/honed with girdle. Rotating assembly to be balanced. Other details to be taken care of too. Hoping to have my stuff back by Christmas, but doubt that will happen.
I have a set of Indy 360-2 heads w/ 2.10 Intake and 1.65 Exhaust coming from another member. Heads are new, chambers opened to 68cc to give me a total static compression of 11:1. Indy intake coming as well.
I have everything else I need to build the motor, minus the gasket kit & head gaskets.
I plan to take my engine back to AMS to Dyno after I get it together.
I did decide to take the rest of December off from work, so I plan to get lots done on the car. At least as much as I can as parts arrive.
