My 340/420 Stroker Build
Rumble,
The intake is the 7545 Excellerator, and if my budget opens up some I will look into getting it ported. My long-term plan was to end up with the TF Track Heat single plane on this assembly next year, so I am hoping they get them released sometime over the Winter/Spring.
Cam Duration:
I just got in a suggestion of 244/252 with .365”/.364” lobes on a 110 suggestion which falls within that rage too. I don’t feel comfortable with anything much larger at this time for a street car.
The converter was chosen for my old 340 combo at the time. I will run the 3800 and see how it reacts to the new combo.
Muffler Info:
2.5” Hooker Max Flows under the rear seat and a set of Classic Chambered 2.5” bullet style mufflers beside the gas tank.
Stroker Kit:
My machine shop selected the K1 forged crank/rod combination and then ordered the pistons from JE once the block info was known.
JDM,
Fear is exactly what I had when I delivered the block to the shop for this rebuild!! I asked the owner to inspect the block and fix what was needed to make it good for this upgrade. I don’t want this build to get too out of hand, so I am trying hard to keep the rpm expectation down. When I bought this car 23 years ago, the previous owner built the motor as close to OEM as possible. Then I slowly made changes to it over the years and now I just want the exterior of the car to look stock.
Thank you, guys!!
