What would you do? Slant performance
I built a 225 shot peened crank truck motor with a .125 milled off block and head combined. 9.5 compression. Runs on 93 perfectly. Manley pro flow valves, .464 cam 276* 340 springs
Ported head, lightened and balanced crank by 20 lbs. Originally 87lbs
Had to bore 60 over , room for more believe it or not. Lots of meat on the blocks
The lower end is pretty much stock, except ARP studs everywhere, head included
Hyperpack manifold, eddy 600, shorty headers, electronic ignition, 32* total timing
2.5'' dual exhaust down to 2.25 tails
274 hp at flywheel 4800 rpm on dyno
Torque 290 a little earlier on
150 hp at 2000 rpm
Running 3.23 and low gear '65 a833 tranny
Msd 6al
Small lock fuel pump with adapted / arm
Blast to drive in a 2600 lb lancer
Light and handles awesomely
$5000 with all including clutch
$3000 in parts
It ain't cheap.
BTW it sounds like my 69 340S cuda
