The introduction of pacerrt340

[pacerrt340]

Hi All,
just been invited to join over here from FABO.

I’m in the process of changing my Australian made Chrysler Valiant (’74 VJ model) Hardtop into a “VH (’71model) Hardtop”.

From this,… (the white car photo) to something like this… (the Vit C car with Blackouts)
Looking to go with a 340 6pack (The car was a factory 318 smallblock / 904 auto)

I have spent a fair bit on the 318 but now Im chasing more HP and I really like the 6PK option.

318s and 360s are reasonably common in Australia, but I understand there were less than 400 units of the 340engines ever brought into the country.

I have a complete SB 6PK set up( manifold, carbs, cleaner, linkages) and I am ideally looking for a 340 (4”stroker) to put the 6PK onto (rather than put it on the original 318 or a 360)

My aim would be for thefollowing spec.s –
· 4.0” stroker crank
· Alloy heads
· 10.0:1 comp
· 450HP
Currently looking for the best way (least hassle more than just cheapest) to get a 340(stroker) long motor into Aus.

Cheers Guys, Scott

Hello from Minnesota. They make plenty of stroker parts for the 360 unless you just gotta have a 340.
