273 or NOT 273?

OK few things , who said my 340 won't have a lot of HP? Gotta love the ignorance of the new stroker mentality. Been going 11's with a mild 340 since before stroker kits were around and I plan on building a lot more Than I have now ( I'll actually ports my heads and intake on this motor ). 2nd , biggest misconception , just because you can rev to 7k , doesn't always mean you are making power to that RPM. yeah , my 340 can rev over 7k , but why would I? I shift it at 6800 because thats where it's best shift point is. 3rd , OK , you have over 400 cu inches , congrats , last time I checked , I build what I want , not what 98% of the small block mopars build because it's "cheaper" or "Makes more power"
nobody mentioned the hp of your 340 except you. if the second comment was aimed at me i've been building engines for myself and freinds for 40+ years so ignorant i'm not :thumbsup: . saying a stroker will rev to 7k was just a comment based on your 'want' for a high revving small block that inferred a stroker then wouldn't/couldn't be high revving. my point was with parts matched to each motor's size the bigger one will make more power and at high revs if that's how you want/build it. i'm glad we don't all build the same thing or it'd be pretty boring. back to the start here, given the choice (if i had both) i'd build the 340 rather than the 273 purely on the basis of bang for the buck. good luck with it whichever you choose to build.
neil.
