340 Mopar - What am I bashing!? I have people telling me a big block or telling me it won't work with no reason! Are you reading my posts wrong or what? I'm on here asking a legit question, and all I get is, "why don't you build a big block instead?" I've not been "lead to water" yet, accept for "ramcharger's" post. If you have nothing to add and to back up your reasons then the post is no good to me, even though I do appreciate input. What I don't appreciate are assumptions, which seems like what I'm getting out of your post. I would appreciate those comments be left out. I'm just asking questions as I have NOT built a Mopar, and am going to be doing one. I thought the Mopar "Family" was a tight knit group and could help a brutha out. Was I wrong? Please don't take this as any kind of static, I'm just here trying to learn, and ask more questions.
ramcharger - Thank you very much for your post. I do agree even with the Ford engines I've put together that drilling out for 4 bolts on a two bolt block is just bad news, and I have my reasons for that as well.
Speed Demon - Again, thank you for your posts. All this is going into consideration.
A forged rotating assembly was a given in my book, along with a girdle. Those things are just planned in a build to me.
