what should i build?
« on: October 28, 2005 - 06:10:24 PM »
trying to decide wether to build my 340 or my 440. i have a 71 challenger that i want to drag race mostly (not an all out drag car, just a fast streetcar). my challenger is a facvtory 318 car, and if i build the 440, will i have to change the k-member? my mom has a 72 challenger and she said i could drop the 440 in it and drag race it and take my time building the 340 and put it in my car. just wondering what you all would suggest.

As far as I kow, you wouldn't have to change the K-Member... just the motor mounts if you went to the 440.

the 440 will cost virtually the same to build & will give more power
 no K frame swap is needed , just big block mounts as others have said

Can I have the 340? I'll even trade you for a 440.
