I acquired a standard bore 340 block, and a mild NOS stroker crank and 0.20 pistons. I plan to use my ported X heads and an Edelbrock RPM intake, with the 340 exhaust manifolds.

So I was ready to build a mild stroker engine, but the machinist was booked for a few months. So I built a few mini bikes and I also ended up moving a few miles away and have a huge garage/shop now. I just finally installed my natural gas heater since I relocated it from my last garage. Today I finally made time to get the car running. The battery was dead, the lift pump was wasted and a fuel line was plugged... it's running great now.

Thanks, I'm not sure about who did the heads. I got them when I was in Vegas. They have a number stamped in the front of the head so I bet a flow sheet exists somewhere. I'll message you later to learn more about Mullen heads etc. Oh yeah, I'm a mechanic and am always into something and I do everything I can myself, machining and the actual spraying of the Cuda were the only things I've paid somebody else to do. (you can see the heater beside the Dusters front tire) The Dart is in a garage a few miles from the old house. (and 3 of my mechanic coworkers now also have mini bikes )

I'm back to the fuel system as well. The car was missing my home made ram air when I got it back so I had to re-acquire some parts (I scored a new air cleaner lid).
