I heard back from my machine shop today and the 340 block I dropped off is ready for the stroker build. I saw a couple of different kits from Mancini for about 2K. My question is should I go internally or externally balanced? This is going in my '68 'cuda w/ had a 4 spd tranny.

Also, any recommendation on heads? I was leaning toward the Edelbrock 340 heads using something like a Comp XE280 cam.

I am building a nice street motor that may see a pass or two down the track so I don't want to go too radical.

Thanks!




I used the Mancini kit for my 416. It is a high quality kit that uses a Callies crank. I got the one that was already balanced. I also have Eddy heads that were ported by RyanJ at Shady Dell speedshop. It's agreat combo that's hard to beat. I have a small solid street roller and 11.5-1 compression and my motor made about 540 HP with a Perf RPM Airgap/950 Holley and just under 500 with a six pak. -Bob
