Your suggestions please, I am jonesing to build.

With $$$$ being the biggest issue here, lemme throw this out there....

I have no idea about what it happened in late 2008, but all of a sudden I started seeing all thru 2009, and I will probably lean towards saying that in 2010 there will be ALOT of 1985-1991 Dodge Pickups, Ramchargers, and D250 Vans, some 2wd, some 4x4's in a junk yard near you.....and I bet you can score a COMPLETE 88-91 Roller Cam LA360 for less than buying, modifying, or changing anything on that 340.

Then, buy a PAW 360 Rebuild Kit....for $295 or what ever and freshen that bad boy up and get a nice street Intake/Carb setup and basic ignition...

You'll need a external balance torque convertor for the 360 but you get what I am saying.
