Okay seeing that my much maligned “free cam build” didn’t go over here as well as my other engine builds like the “old school 340 build “ and the “ mild magnum 360 build “….I think it’s time to leave that free cam build off this site until some of you are more mentally prepared for it… now that does not imply that this Bottom End Shocker Build is going to follow all engine build conventional thinking…but it might be a bit closer to normal than the mild magnum was…
So here is the parts list…and unlike my other builds I will try to post prices(Canadian dollars)and part numbers
Stock bore 340 block $100
Mopar Caps $400
ARP main studs $150
Scat forged 4 inch crank $1000
Rods TBA
Pistons TBA but will be in the 10:1 range with some quench
Heads are Promaxx Shockers CNC ported…. But they will get some additional porting and valve work
Cam will be a solid lifter custom grind
Intake will be an Ed Airgap dual plane that may see some hogging
So keep in mind that this is not going to be some drag strip bracket engine that needs a 4500 stall and 4:10 gears to pull away from the stoplight…. I want the bottom end torque of a big block and peak power at 5500rpm…
as always any input is truly appreciated….but I will still do it my way in the end!
