Big block will get you there easier, at less RPM and with less "exotic" parts. Using the 400 block you have some stroker options 451/470/499/512. A relatively basic build with just about any aluminum head shouldn't have a problem cracking into the 10's

It can of course be done with a small block as well, but might require a couple extras, Ported heads vs Non ported Big block heads for example.

If I was in your shoes, first thing I would do would be make the car run and drive again with the 340 you already have. Good Luck!

I was runnin solid 10.40`s w/a 470 and ported 906`s, solid cam and drove it everywhere. Easy to do and if I knew then what I know now, it would of been a lot faster. I`ll never own a small block again and torque is king IF you can hook it..........
