    is this the stock motor for that car , because i dont think it is 340 was only offered to the cuda in 73 , if im wrong let me know , now with that 340 i would stroke it 416 stroker , cost about $1500 or the kit , and then edelbrock heads 557 purple shaft cam , 850 hp holley ,,,,, http://www.hughesengines.com/ best place for the killer parts and some serios hp for the small block guys , or just nos would be a nice way to have some fun , and another thing if the 340 is a cast crank , just find a 318 steel crank , same crank , 509 purple shaft is a killer cam and flow out your j heads with flat tops would be a killer set with a victor intake

    Not a big fan of steel cranks, I've had 'em break too many times. Two Fords, one Dodge, one IHC. Cast would have pounded out too, but wouldn't have snapped and taken out the block at the same time. I still use 'em if the engine has one, but I won't go out of my way to get one.
    A 340 can be made to use a 360 crank, 372 cubes fairly inexpensively.
