Advice on my "stock" 340 build
We always kinda theorized that the reason some engines (of all makes) ran better than others was perhaps because the factory would build some blueprinted to spec for a kinda "comparison" test. Sounds good anyway. We all know how the factory engines were all under their advertised compression ratios, some by a good bit. Taller than spec deck heights, bigger than spec combustion chambers. And on and on. The 68 340 with a 71 induction system is the hybrid I've always wanted to do. Blueprint everything. Deck height, all the chamber volumes, Index the crank, just get all of the machine work "perfect". Degree the cam 4 degrees advanced, as you know that was never done. You have the great Mopar electronic ignition you could use and you want FBO junk? No way in hell would I run that. It's crap on a stick and you'll get no support of any kind. That's his reputation. I think you'd be happier with a Mopar ignition with a good loose curve, but it's your money. Waste it as you see fit. lol
