I'm not a fan of that Carb, and the tire is a bit tall. The rest looks good.

If you're lucky it will tickle the 11's, most likely a 12 second car though as it sits.

Really depends on how it hooks. I'd guess 12.32 @114 mph

Assuming the suspension works and it's in a good state of tune it should run mid to high 11's.

Once you get things dialed in, I would say 11's.

BTW that cam is ground with zero advance, advancing it 3-4 degrees may benenfit your ET.

If you meant "Not enough gear for 340".

HI I have a '72 Scamp with a '69 340. Stock rods stock 10.5 pistons Stock steel crank. Ported J heads,2.08 in 1.60 ex., solid purple shaft 571 lift 304 duration cam, LD340 intake, 750 eddy carb., 727 with Huges 4000 stall, MSD ignition, Dana 60 4.10's, with 29" tall tire. Full interior car. Just want a ball park idea what you guys think. If you need more info to determine, let me know. Thanks!


Throwing in actual hands on expereieces I will say mid to high 13s. Sory for not stroking your ego, BTW what brand and style tires are you going to use at the track? I'm basing my guess on some good hooking street and strip tires When are you going to run the car and which track? Eddy makes several versions of the 750, a smog carb and a performance version , which one do you have?

I ran a similar combo in my Dart years ago. Car weighed 3470 with driver, had sportsman pro tires and 430 gear. Car would run 12.90- 13.00 depending on the weather.

I will venture with that carb a et of 13.2-13.5 that carb and tall ass tires are going to take the wind out of your sails. Get the tire to 26 tops and or more gear 4.10s are great but you will have them around a 3.55 overall with 29 tall tires. Get a Holley dbl pumper, shorter slick and look for 12.0-12.3

You guys are low ballin it, If that car & the combo (assumeing) the alt. isn't exstream & your not a heavy weight doesn't see 11s i'd junk it , I was told MANY MANY times that my 71 Dart with a junkyard 360 magnum, bolt-ons, very small re-ground cam, 3.73 gears, 11" 2800 stall & a 650dp would never see a 12.99 period, 1st. pass letting off just past the 1000ft. it ran 12.70, After that run it was a solid 12.5 car & 105 with 1.80 60fts. shifting at 5100, this was at 24-2600 DA, race weight was un-known. 3 things that need to be changed IMO, then like mentioned, advance the cam.

Run at least a prepped 750dp., Even an 850dp will work good.
Install 4.56 gears & a 28" tire, With that cam & a 340 don't be surprized if you need to shift at or a bit over 7K RPM.
I would go with a 46-4800 Flash stall.

For now to keep cost down, i'd run 27" Slicks or QTPs.

I'll say once you get thinks in order & weight & Alt. are on the lower side.

high 11s

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention this is a street car. I think anything steeper than 4.10's will be to much for the street. It's a 750 Performance carb. Thanks again.

I ran all over in my 73 Swinger, had a built up .060" 360 & 4.56 gears, 255/60/15s, they are 27" tall, It cruised really nice & was torquey as hell, I dropped in a set of 3.23s i had for kicks, god what a pig it turned into, so the 4.56s went back, Even if its a Performer 750 its still an eddy, You will benifit more from a holley DPer. Unless you plan on doing alot of highway cruising, drop in a steeper gear, 4.56s are nothing for a street cruiser.
