Stroked 340, you need to let this go and again sloooowww down on your reading,it clearly sates a bsicly stock 71 340 demon,that means a full interior,stock suspension car that only has a few mods,no ported heads,no fiberglass ect.Its right there in plain sight that the engine was blueprinted and had some mods,headers,deep gears ect.No where did I imply it was a stock engine.

Lol,well an aftermarket stroke,ported aluminum headed engine is a long way off from a stock stroke,stock production head engine with a cam,induction and headers.Just pick you poison,"full weight,full interior car","basicly stock engine","modified engine",your criteria and definition seems to cange with every post!.Its just dam impressive to say the least to me that a car so close to stock with a production 340 c.i. long block,a cam change,some headers,induction change and gears can go 11s,he would run your "basicly stock 416".:toothy10:

Well, i dont think if you say "street car" that it can be classified so pin point. If the guy drives it on the street, and it doesnt explode, or he get arrested.. in the world of street racing, it's a street car. If you're talking licensed street cars, even then, cages, race tires, loud exh, no wipers, missing interiors, it's all fair game. The Butcher's replacement car was an Iroc that raced in Super Gas. It had a title. He put in lights, a progressive NOS controller, a bigger engine, and added some factory interior, and exhaust. That car, as it sat, was an 8s car on the track. And, he drove it to the races on a few occasions. A buddy's comet runs 10.20s on the street. It has a full cage, lights, wipers, exhaust... It's driven everywhere except the track. They are common now. And with these big strokers, it is pretty common. in my younger days, a high 12s car was fast on the street. Now Neons do that. A solid street car needs to run low 11s to get respect if he's racing it on the street. There are no rules there. Nothing. So saying "well it's this or that or it's not a street car" means nothing. If it's out there, and doesn't get towed/arrested, it's a street car.
Don't ask the resident know-it-all about these. He found out the hard way after being warned countless times.

Well stock, except the motor has been apart, bored, rods worked, different pistons, crank probably worked a little, heads shaved with new valves and valve job, probably valve springs and rockers too. Oh and single plane manifold and carb.
Oh and a .590 lift Purple camshaft.
Maybe this one?
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=DCC-4120657&autoview=sku
It's got 265* of duration at .050!!
So, your 340 is pure stock except for all that stuff.
My NMRA Pure Street class car, had a similar set of engine mods, but I wouldn't ever tell anyone it was mostly stock.
The ten second street cars I'm talking about have heat, full interiors, sometimes AC, run on 93 pump gas, power brakes, stock suspensions (meaning stock style suspensions with bolt on parts), small blocks, max tire 26*10" ET Drag. Maybe a fiberglass hood here and there.
Sadly, none of them are Mopars. They're either 5.0 Mustangs or LS engine GM stuff.
Fuel injection and forced induction are wonderful things, unless you're in the other lane.

Well I was only POed about being told that I will have to wear a full face helmet & changr my shutoff switch if I pick up 13 hundreds.I have a Morso switch like every car that I see with one.Where I was told I had to put a spreader bar between the pillar bars,I would have to move my guages & change my dash.Yesterday I went to a chassis builder and he was working on a car with the bar about 6" from where I was told I had locate mine.He said they like the cross bar close to the bars that go to the front of car.He said 2or 3 inches would make NO differance,I'm going to try it.Next thing I need is
4" rear wheel studs.A guy here in the trailer park says he knows someone he thinks will make them for us.
Anyway I'm the talk of the trailer park, the guys at the rec center think 10.11 @130 mph is fast.A couple of the widow women even asked if I have anything else that can still "get up and go".

This always made my blood boil- Its ok to race my GTX with stock 40 year old belts but not to race it with a set of 4 year old used 3" race belts? Which do you think is safer!!
One reason I stopped racing the Reliant, dealing with stupid NHRA rules. One tech inspecter wanted to know if I had driveshaft loops!
