How to build a 13 second 340 Duster

My job is a project manager for St paul Travelers. I build engines for me, and others, along with pretty much anything else on mopars only. I've driven $200 engines for years with no problems, and I know how to get results with any budget. There are always ways...lol. But your post was about a rebuild of your 340. I am simply trying to relate what a performance rebuilt 340 will, or IMO should cost. If you dotn need the work, or dont want to spend the money, the effects are you lose the goal you had inmind. Or at least you might. One of the cars I ran for 3 years, passed emmissions twice in CT, and had no trouble with was a ring and bearing 340 I bought for $300 in '88. A cam, valve springs, and some tuning work and I was running 13.2s easy, able to run in the 12s flogging it. Dut, would I do that even for myself anymore, no. To me, it's just not worth doing things more than once. My time, or anyones, is too valuable, and the expense is more than I want to pay. Not bashing, not criticizing, just pointing stuff out. Part of my job at Travelers is to look ahead, and make sure things are done once, and right, and on budget.
