I like the small block in our E-body. Lots and lots of room to work on it, and kind of different from the big block/Hemi most expect to see when we pop the hood.
Might want to weigh that 'Cuda and see what you're dealing with. Our Challenger is only 3,340 pounds, and that's with an all metal body, full interior, small block and 727. It weighs almost exactly the same as my Duster. Kinda sucks really...you'd think with an A-body I'd have a huge weight advantage.

What kind of power can a small block handle? I have a 1970 340 standard bore and a 1977 360 .040 over both ready to be used if either one of them can handle boost ok. If not I may buy a new block if I go the wedge route. Just not sure what they can handle.

EASY Dustergirl!....The opposition AND some fellow
Big Block Mopar racers often foul about the 340 Duster having an unfair advantage!!
Oh well... Let them KEEP seeing your taillights!

A simple, BUT EFFECTIVE stroker setup on a 340/360 motor (yeiding in the 420-426) cube range should be streetable
enough to drive every day BUT run the 11-11.5 bracket in a 3500+ weight package w/4.10's. Carb, compression and converter stall depending.
