I just recently acquired a 1970 Challenger from my inlaws. stock 340 and 727. Car currently has an eddy 1406 on it. I am having a couple issues, more internal to myself than the car itself!
I am really wanting to have a nice streetable car. Something to drive and still have fun with enough power to keep me happy, but not a drag car by any means. So my options are build the 360 sitting on my engine stand. Currently have a set of KB Hypereutectic Pistons, Eagle I beam rods, some big valve J Heads that have been worked, and a Comp Cam 20-223-3 that I was thinking would make a nice little 408 stroker motor. Havent decided on intake or carb at the moment.
Or should I just swap the J heads I have and the cam from above and run the little 340 as is and be happy? Have a nice peppy motor, and put some more money in the chassis and brakes before going to the 408 eventually maybe.
Thoughts on carb and intake set ups for both options would be greatly appreciated.
Pics are of the car right now, its a TA clone, was originally a 318 car.
