My new 340 at the track

I have a very nice stock crank 360 shortblock I built a couple of years ago that I built for my son to get back out. I bought everything from a Moparts member. He joined here shortly after but I Dont know if he comes on here anymore. Originally I bought the Crower rods, stock 360 crank cut down to Chevy size, very nice oil pan he built, pistons, etc then he offered me the bushed block so
I made another road trip. It included a nice .660 lift roller cam and used Crower lifters. I’m sure it would be the 9’s somewhere with my Edelbrock heads but the crank being cut to Chevy size kinda scares me. Curiosity may force me to try it someday.

I’ve cut many cranks down to SBC LJ crank size. I’ve had a few turned to SBC SJ size if it was an aluminum rod build.

I turned every BBM crank down to 2.200 (BBC) because unless it’s got a blower on it they are too big. And it needs to be over 4k hp because AFAIK no one uses anything other than 2.200 rod throws on anything.

If I didn’t already have rods I’d turn my crank to 2.100. I’ve run my personal stuff at .030 Chrysler size which is .005 under Chevy stuff and beat the crap out of them.

I’d run that crank so fast my shorts would have to catch up.
