who's got a kick arse 340 build?

[Daz570]

in the near future I'm going to throw together a 340 for my ap6 ute, (one of these but rougher at the moment)

would like to keep the 340's standard stroke (as they're pretty cool as is around these parts, and use the j heads i have here, nothing over the top, but would like something that will REV,

am thinking a 3.23 diff and 4 speed, car will weigh in at under 1200kg

anybody have any good combinations they'd like to throw up?



Thanks,

Dan.

Knighty. That is very cool looking. Like a barracuda pickup. Anyways I have a standard stroke 340 in my 65 cuda that is capable of high 12 sec. quarter times with traction. I have ported x heads, lunati voodoo cam, rhoads lifters(really help with bottom end power), edelbrock RPM airgap intake & 800 cfm eddy eps carb. Running 3.55 gears with 2800 stall.

Just reading this one, being a 318, they seem to be getting some nice numbers with basics, could transfer to a 340 quite easily..

415hp at 6200 for a budget teen sounds pretty impresive..
