Hi All
Wanting to build a strong 340 with 500-650hp.
What would be the best way to achieve these numbers, but still being streetable.
Stroker??.
Car is a stick shift A833.
Thanks
Al.

You need a killer bottom end
you could do it with a stock block well balanced stroker , or if you really want to build a killer small block use an R3 block if you can find one or the Ritter block , both will handle 800 hp both have 6 bolt / cylinder provision for better sealing & you can use a number of better 6 bolt heads , , W7,8,9 for example .
The Ritter block is a tough build , the block is very raw & will require a lot of massaging to assemble

Will be doing a full build on the Ritter 59 when i receive.
4" stroke it uses chev size bores comes out about 434 Cu
Using Edelbrock victor heads (Another problem) the inner bolt holes are tapped up from the bottom like a Hemi rather than bolted down from the top of the head.
Supposed to be ready for pickup a few weeks ago Kent said he has been extremely ill .
Also said he dynoed a twin turbo 48 degree block build & come up with 1682 hp not sure on the torque.

More for us than him. Me thinks any person who asks how to make silly numbers has no clue, experience, ability, or funds.
