Hey all you smart 340 engine guys...

If you are planning to buy heads see if you can find a nice set of cast iron
W2's. Will make more power than edelbrocks. If you must have needle bearng rockers, harland sharpe's, jessel, or T&D are the only ones out there that will last. 3 or my frineds have 416 motors ranging from 556 hp (with edelbock heads) 580 (ported cast iron w2's) & 620 hp (ported indy heads) TTI headers are also worth the money as we picked up 20 hp on the dyno over hooker supercomps ( they fit better than hookers also) All 3 engines are pump gas motors & are driven on the street a few times a week.

1 question, what tube size was the Hooker Super Comps?

Otherwise, yet another very good post. The high end (Read...$$$$) rockers would be fine for use. I said no in a errorish way. Why? Because many people look at cheap $100 roller rockers with needles and alllmost allllways come back with a destroyed engine. You never mentioned which brand of rocker.

Quality...Pay more now instead of alot later when your doing it twice.

W-2's are nice heads. I myself would like to spend some money on LP Comandos myself.
