not a 340?
I see what you did there!not a 340?
did YOU really just say that!!?? It's a good thing I am sitting down.A 340 would be a waste in that heavyweight b-body!!
I think what he really did was declare that unless a 340 has every advantage, like a light weight car, it has no chance against a big blockdid YOU really just say that!!?? It's a good thing I am sitting down.
I think a big HP small block would kick *** in that car.. all things being equal (as in both having the same HP) - between a small block or a big block - I would go with the LA every timeI think what he really did was declare that unless a 340 has every advantage, like a light weight car, it has no chance against a big block
yeah, but in mild street builds (9 to 1, dual plane intake, under .500 lift, mild home porting), a good goal is 1 horsepower per cubic inch. In other words, same money, same build and builder, you get 440 horses + monster torque vs (lets say) 360 horses, and not as much torque.I think a big HP small block would kick *** in that car.. all things being equal (as in both having the same HP) - between a small block or a big block - I would go with the LA every time
Or you could go slant six with a turbo charger.....Think of all the room and header clearance. Stuff an aluminum headed MRL 408 with oh say, a mild 475 hp. Driveability, actually wants to go around corners, etc. If I only had the money. Win, win.
I hear ya - but I did say equal HP.. if they both have say 475 like fratzog suggested - (and I am just playing what-if here) - a small block has the weight advantage...yeah, but in mild street builds (9 to 1, dual plane intake, under .500 lift, mild home porting), a good goal is 1 horsepower per cubic inch.

my sister had a 70 coronet 4 door with a 318 that would fry the 14" tires to no end....I hear ya - but I did say equal HP.. if they both have say 475 like fratzog suggested - (and I am just playing what-if here) - a small block has the weight advantage...
that would make some people sh*t when you popped the hood!!How would a 2.5 turbo from a 1989 Dodge caravan hooked to a 5 speed from a 4cyl Dakota pull it? Lots of room under the hood, and nobody would ever guess what was pulling that bird...
I had a 74 4 door - same thing - the car was stupid fun!my sister had a 70 coronet 4 door with a 318 that would fry the 14" tires to no end....
yeah, grab a 500 dollar 440/727 from a 76 New Yorker from CL and stuff it in their. Throw some lower 1/4's on it and it'll bring 18k on ebayIs it worth what he/she is asking Yes..JMO
I agree, if not more in a couple years thinking $24k by then I would offer him/Her $8.2 k and get it if I had the moniesyeah, grab a 500 dollar 440/727 from a 76 New Yorker from CL and stuff it in their. Throw some lower 1/4's on it and it'll bring 18k on ebay
