I have owned my 1972 340 Demon since my senior year in high school that was 1979. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eeek.gif) 340 0.030 (original block) #matching
Original 72 340 Demons do not grow on trees , especially with their original number matching block. I would not put nitrous or a supercharger on that motor unless you don't care about the original block.
Yes I understand this aspect of this car. I have had this car for so long and gone back and forth that when I have the money after my kids are grown and on their own.
Should I reurn it to stock. <-- dont plan on selling it
Make it look somewhat stock (interior, paint, keep my old centerlines) but with a hot 340/416. <-- improve it as it sits
Go part race car with roll bar gutted interior race seats big block no body mods. <---really what I want to do but my gut tells no
One reason I suggested a 360 stroker instead of my 340 was if i wanted it back original it could be done.
I guess im still not sure the direction.
I have also thought of finding a slant 6 or 318 demon and making it a racer with no worries. money permitting and wife
Im not a guy with extra cash laying around so whatever I do will be a one shot deal. The wife doesnt understand the car thing even though she has put up with a spot taken in the garage from the day we were married.
sidenote I wish I also kept the 1970 340 4-Speed Panther pink Duster and the 1971 340 Duster auto, special ordered very well optioned got both of these around 1983-4 ended up dumping them for school tution end my hopes of a profesional car collector
IMO, slant 6 A body car ( they are still cheap ). Gut it, Stroked 360, Mild mods, and you will be there. For about 15K, you can tell all your friends you ran in the 10's. - or you could just lie - absolute cheapest way.
Fastest 300
