They are too heavy of a engine. A 318 or LH>360 would be lighter for the drag strip. I expect to win a LH>few races with it. (If and when I get it going!!!) That'd be cool... Cut down the heads for more compression on the 360 (That is if you chose 360) and put the 340 crank/pistons/rods and clearance the block for it. For details on this lookin the special tech edition mopar mag. (I think it was a hi-po mopar special) it has complete details on two different mopar 360 buildups :) ___ X SLMR 2.1a X If this were an actual tagline, it would be funny. --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: Digital Encounters * Kamloops BC Canada 604/374-6168 (1:353/710) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: DGA00013 Date: 12/01/96 From: MIKE DALE Time: 11:27pm \/To: LORI HARVEY (Read 1 times) Subj: Mini-vans LH>We still have the 4x4, and a bunch of other vehicles.
