we did a 340 where i work that used the edlebock heads with a solid flat tapett comp cams camshaft, and 030 over pistons for 10:1 compression on pump gas.
the new edlebrock heads had a pocket port that i did working there, and the boss had me mill the heads slightly. he always gets me to take apart new heads anyways to check guides, springs, redo seats, etc.
it also had a single plain intake and holley 750 carb.
wow
it made 432hp at 5700 rpm on the dyno !
seems like a pretty good combo for basically a stock 340 with bolt ons like heads and a cam and intake !
how come guys dont just go get the edlebrock heads, get them checked and milled slightly, then change cam and intake ?
i think a guy could do the edelbrock heads, xtq comp cam, intake and carb for under the 3k, and probably get very close to that engine done where i work ?
