I have a 72 340 cuda, 4 spd car 3.55 gears. It has numbers matching engine and 4 spd. I need to do something with it,The 340 has been bored 30 and has flat top cast pistons in it. I had a set of heads done a year ago, J heads with bigger valves and had some port work done on them,dual plane intake and holley 4150hp carb, msd digital 6 ignition. Have a 360 sitting in the shed. I would like to get 425hp and put 150 shot on it. Since the car is a 4spd I'm not sure how nitrous will work, would like to keep the 340 in it but don't want to destroy it. I have been thinking about putting the 5.7 in it but not sure how well it will fit. I know I can use the original K-member but it is a tight fit.I have more talent than facilities so would like some advice, I have about $5K to spend. Also would it be better to run an automatic with nitrous, does anyone make a 4spd auto to bolt up to my 340 or 360?
Any advice or thought would be greatly apreciated.
