Its summer and your ride is on jack stand

Yeah $$ or the lack of time is most of our problems. Me, 5 years ago I would had just went with a 408 stroke short block. But how I tend to wind out the motor and being I like staying with traffic at 75+ mph with3.91 gears and no overdrive thought it should have forged pistons-maybe the crank also. Meant to do it right it be $4,500. Doing this 340 short block--had to buy a motor first for $600--should be around $2,700, and that be with better H bearings and a new crane cam and Mopar lifters from ebay.

I didn't do anything today in my engine bay b ut the shop got the crankshaft in. Guy sounded very happy but said they didn't open the box yet--I think hes a bit tick for me dragging to get the pistons but hey I want to be sure first which crank I am getting. If I had to come up with $700 for a China forged crank, it might well been the 4 inch stroke, lol
