340 or 408?

Thanks man , much appreciated. You're right , I love gear , sticks and revs , very old school. My current 340 is so much fun and plan on keeping it a few more years if all goes well but just looking to have a good replacement ready to go when the time comes. I want that replacement to work with the current drivetrain setup I currently have. Bingo!!


We are from the same era I suppose. I grew up following Modifed Eliminator which were ALL stick cars and what would be considered micro sized engines that spun to the moon.

It was great watching those cars. Most were well under 300 inches (I know why that was but most on here won’t accept that truth because it fits right into what we are talking about here) with 50 pound flywheels and gearboxes you had to shift.

That’s why I build what I build. RPM is horsepower. Valve train is so much better than the junk they had in 1973 that it’s just crazy what those guys did with what they had.
