Old Race 340 Teardown

No .. it was what Glidden ran on his W2. Only available for Chevy small & big blocks and Mopar W2s.

The reason I said that was because everything else on that engine is cutting edge Mopar for the era. It may be class rules prohibitted tunnel rams ??? Can't say ... Or his builder just preferred the Strip Dominator.

Wow, thanks, I didn't know. Google told me the rest. But I was mistaken about his class, it was super gas. Don't know what those rules said in 1980. But it may also have been a left over piece from the Valiant, which he also ran as a 340 with a Paxton supercharger in the 11.80 bracket. The reason I think that might be the case is the doublers welded into the mounting flanges of this Strip Dominator. Would there be any other reason to do that?
