You can do it with 383's and SB's but it will cost you much more.




Not here. Paid $600 for my 340 engine, tore it down, replaced the rings and bearings and put it back together. Still has the factory rods with good bolts, and the original X heads. Added a Comp XE274 hydraulic cam, an Airgap intake, a 650 Holley, PTC 3,500 converter, SS springs, 3.91 gears. Ran 12.91 @ 103 mph with less than $2,000 invested in the engine. Car is heavy for an A-body too.
