Cruise friendly low 12's with a 340 Dart

I was in the same boat a couple years ago. In talking with my engine guy "your better off buying what you want once". I wanted to build a stroker but it wasnt in the budget along with the ede heads and rpm air gap, holley 4150 hp dbp. So I ended up buying the heads, intake carb, and a new cam and picked up over 100hp for my 360. Everything I bought can be used when i can afford to build the stroker. Same thing with the tranny. From what I have heard it cost a crap load to build a A518 to withstand 500 plus hp (yes thats right small block stroker 500 plus hp) The gearvendors kit is a no brainer!

So my thoughts are if you cant afford to build the stroker (right now) Bolt on some ede heads get a new cam intake carb, gears. Save up for the gearvendors kit and chuck the duece and cars passing while your driving 48 mph down the freeway!

And if they want to play just know that your right in the power zone for a 50 to 100mph burst of mopar sickness
