so i roll up there for the first time tonight and notice a decent dodge charger on the curb with the tag "meanr nu" Then i hear the owner/doorman/bouncer say its running a "515+ HP 340ci smallblock". So after a friend ask about the engine i ask what hes running for 515hp at just 340ci. i mention my ebrock head and he says thats junk and he respond engle(they make small block heads...b1's?) er something. anyone know anything about said car, black primer with a 6-pack hood and maybe some drag radials, 68 model.

hell yeah, 340's belong in a and e bodies. definitely possible he's makin that number all motor at the flywheel, but it's not a real happy street car if so. my setup is ~400-425. stock j heads with alot of work, rowdy cam, and 11.5:1. barely get by on 93, and the cam can be a pain at times starting it and idling.

hell, he could even be stroked too and just still calling it a 340 block. that would easily bring you that number. when my stroker goes it, i won't be advertising it any different.

the most likey scenario is he's got a strong 375-400 with a 100-150 shot on it.

4/26/2007 3:10:45 AM

uh i guess he could be at 402 or whatever(i bought good head over big crank) but this thing looked like a $1500 bbody with maybe relocated springs and the dragradials and cheapo (hinge and pin) 6pack hood

if i could swing the stroker with my pistons/rods i go ahead and buy the crank. the comp ratio would be too high so i figure i'll throw some giggle juice at it if i dont get in (Streetable) rollcage territory

i'm sticking with my trusty j heads. they have beautiful work done to them by boyette sr. eagle 4" crank. haven't decided on pistons.

4/26/2007 3:24:27 AM

what rods, i got standard length eagle H-beams and speed pro lp-233 or something pistons. positive deck by a tad with my block and the ebrocks. my big valve j heads had already been decked, i didnt feel like 800$ worth of porting vs 1200$ for the same flow and better compression support

4/26/2007 3:29:47 AM

i'm thinking h beams. possibley stock shot peened w/ arp hardware.

4/26/2007 3:31:16 AM

i liked the eagle hbeams cause they came with arp wavelock shit, looked real good to me and were pretty cheap (350ish maybe)

4/26/2007 3:38:19 AM

is this what i sound like when i post drunk

4/26/2007 7:18:36 AM

^no, you'd be trying to post pictures and finally get it up on the 20th try... lol

all that shits pretty coherent man. i needed an excuse to stay up so i didnt puke and to make sure the huge gash from hitting a road sign stopped bleeding and didnt need stitches

4/26/2007 11:28:55 AM

not that it matters - it wasn't brad though

4/26/2007 11:35:08 AM

Mopar or no car!



WOOHAA!!

4/26/2007 11:51:57 AM

you should have said:

"Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle."

and just left

4/26/2007 12:20:42 PM

My brother in law used to room with that guy, i believed about 1/3 of the car stuff he tried to rattle off....

4/26/2007 6:37:06 PM

id really like to talk to the guy just to see what he can spit out. i know he was working the door and stuff but id spout my shit out if i was packin 500+ from a smallblock that he drives to work downtown. not like hes gonna be sneaking up on kids in a street race around here.

chargers didnt even come with 340s did they, at least i dont recall seeing one in person. i thought it was 318, 383, 440 or 426, at least in those years. if i was gonna build an engine for that car i sure wouldnt hunt down a 340 block for it when you could build a 451 or something that would haul that tank around for the same coin

4/27/2007 2:33:19 AM

i guess you lose the sleeper ability when you get your car painted

4/27/2007 2:35:21 AM

that would be correct, depending on how you painted it.

4/27/2007 3:29:09 AM

340 was a/e body only.
