They look nice, I bet they are better than some guys over here running MW SR 650's whatever that means... in a '69 Cuda notchback has a small s/roller, ally indy block 572 cubes @ 14:1.with a 440-2/old 1050 Dominator, 2900lb all in brkt car runs 10.0's>9.90's@129, has been 70's@130>says it all...

I can tell you exactly what it took to run 12.4's@108 in my '71 340 Cuda back in 1985> Stock motor, 10:1, stock 2.02 heads unported, DC..590" SFT cam, Strip Dominator intake, 850DP, 1.3/4" race hdrs, 4200stall manual 727, 4.30's, 10x28's, stock 340 L/springs clamped@front, Mp performance shocks...

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my no's match street/strip '71 340 from many moons ago, as it was in the beginning and later in '87 with white paint>

"Whitedart" user name or Shilo68 runs one, problems with keeping water out of the oil. do a search on forabodies or moparts site.

Whiplash cam certainly sounds hard!!...my CC [email protected] sft cam in my 440 sounded tamer in the race car:rolleyes:

I thought of mine in 1982 having been in the Print game when "Hot Metal" was still being used, thought it was a good name for a race car. Shame I didn't register the name as Vauxhall (GM) bought out a sporty model here in UK just after and called it....... you guessed it!!:(

Hi, to run low 12's@110-3400lbs you will need that motor to make around 380hp with a good hooking car and 60's in the 1.65's. I doubt if 380 is on the cards with those motor specs, heads are good but the cam is a tad mild. I would say 340 with those Eddies at a guess (perhaps more?) which could...

I would also say a 408 from your 360. Its BB power without the extra expense of another g/box etc. etc. there are many Mopar only builders around, some on this thread who you need to talk to, another reputable builder from what I have seen is "MRL Performance", do a search, this guy knows his...

Well if its a '72 340, 8.5:1CR which is not stated you got a job on your hands to get 400hp.....if earlier 68>'71 your at 10:1ish?....even then I can't see 400hp without working the heads to flow at least 240>250cfm with a good v/job etc., get the heads flowed once ported then you can pick a cam...

ooops

here's a few for ya........... [IMG]http://[URL=http://s656.photobucket.com/user/skallstrom/media/000002.jpg.html] this original colour as I bought it, called it the Red Baron then, before the white paint job. the car in the background was my old white car now called "Pinky" with a 440 Top...

Hi y'all, a short intro about myself.........my story starts out in 1977 when I bought a 1968 Dodge Charger 318 for £700=around $1400, thought it was real cool but after 6 months it just wasn't fast enough anymore and I swapped it for 1965 K code Mustang f/back, had a lot of fun in that stick...

I can only give you an idea based on my '71 340 Cuda street/strip car which was all stock (no's car) lthr interior etc., apart from Centerlines, a 3500 stall converter, Holley SD intake, 750DP, .484"/284 purple hyd., 3.55 gears posi and 26" slicks. The car hooked well and ran 13.3's@101 in the...
