So whats you opinion of the 340 R3 retro block, hinesite now since I'm just about done my build and spent the bank doing so, I'm expecting 650 hp on engine only, just curios
The deal is that with lots of cubes you can have big power with a mild build, run crap gas and simply let the torque move you down the trackĀ . Think of an engine that yawns and scratches its self as it cranks out low ETs.
To do the same with a small block, you are talking more compression, more aggressive cam, more rpm all at the cost of longevity and reliability.
Now for a street car I do prefer a hot small block for the overall improved balance of the car.
