My first hit of fun began with a 340 in my Mirada. It went from mild, to 6pak, to 4bbl with a NOS plate. About 93 we build our low buck RB stroker and put that in. That incarnation ended up running into the 9's at sea level over years of tweeking and upgrading..... but launch at 3400, shift at 5800, trap at 6200 was kind of s snoozer. It was waayyy more fun going back to SoDak and wheeling my dads W5 powered Duster. Even short shifting at 6800 that lil car would haul the mail. Big block car is gone..... so I'm back to where I prefer to be. A nice lowbuck iron head 360 that will run 10.8 in Vegas, and our W8 small block is residing between the fenders now awaiting it's first trek to the track. For the money I have in the W8 I'm sure I could have built more power with a big block package, but maybe not.... Either way, I love my small blocks!
