Cylinder head discussion 340 with stock above deck pistons

One of the most fun builds I ever did and charged my friend 5.00 to do it (5.00 worth of jawbreakers)
340 with stock crank
J or X heads slightly polished
484 lift purple shaft hyd cam
Port o sonic intake
750 double pump Holley
Stock 10.5-1 pistons
Stock rods
1 7/8 headers
727 with J converter
3200 pound 72 duster
Super stock springs
10 M/T slicks
Low 12.2’s new driver 2nd time out
I built this engine with friends in his pool room. We laughed and hollered the whole time eating jawbreakers.
Break it, fix it, repeat. I had a Lakewood bellhousing, aftermarket clutch and pressure plate, 3 inch custom made driveshaft, Lakewood ujoints, 2 sets of gears after breaking every weak link possible. Fought pinion angle issues before we ever knew to measure it. Good old Direct Connection failed to notify us that installing super stock springs threw your pinion up 8-10 degrees. That was a fun learning experience. This guys feelings are a little soft so I’ll let you guys tell him how to fix his car. Peace out.
