That's how I'll build it. My current 340 shifts at 6800 , I like small block revving motors , NOT STROKERS , it's just what I like , not sure why it's such a big deal that I don't want to build a stroker like 95% of the mopars at the cruise nights I go to. I'm old school and that's my thoughts.
I get it. My first 273-4 was back in 71 and at 16 I thought it ran like a scalded dog. I didn't have a tach but I bet it revved to at least 9,000. :lol:
Well may be not. My latest one I built close to original specs, advanced the cam a few degrees for more bottom end (where I spend most of my time) and it only revs to about 5500. It sounds like it's ready to take off for the moon though.
