Greg I'm expanding the mud slinging to show all of you that every make has bogus parts that FIT into the house rules at NHRA.

I don't agree wi it either, along with many other obviously wrong decisions.

So which part is the worst offender, the latest and greatest?

All this assumes the LD-340 is worth something. When we did a A-B-A swap/test vs. a OE 71 340 #2100 intake, it was worth a grand total of zero point zero.

Back in the early 70s I did an A-B swap at Hampton Raceway between the stock 69 440 intake and an Edelbrock CH4B, the car ran identical to the hundredth. The engine was a bracket race 426 street wedge with a Holley 4779. I did a lot of flow work with a stock 2100 intake and was very impressed how much better it was than the AVS intake.

OBTW, I'm not much of a dancer.

you can dance just loosen up your laces

And I have heard that aftermarket blocks get a hell a lot more hp than 5.

you have a source for standard deck ht 59 degree aftermarket mopar small block blocks?

that is not the point, how many other combos do not have any option? Billy and other people are being myopic by only wanting to look at one or two mopar manifolds and want to ignore other combos that get an updated block, and replacement carbs.

You can have a block. Stop crying. You are the second coming of theDROoZe
Imagine if you had the 340 combo you have a reason to babble
Go back and sleeve your block and make some magic.
If you half your energy into your 318. As you do in this thread you may get somewhere

wow, did you actually read what i typed or did you just react?

This thread is killing me. I don't know if I should start to build a Mopar Stocker or pack drag racing in all together.

That's a load of B.S. right there lol. Some of us know exactly what that LD 340 intake was worth on the exact combo in question . I'm not taking anything away from the guys who made it happen they did the homework they convinced NHRA to allow the use of this intake and went on from there and did what they needed to do to make it work ..
I Guess next is going to be how hard it is to find a
Good stock Q jet and let us bolt on Fuel injection.
Maybe even a Aluminium D port head some day .
I will let you know what the side by side comparison is on those cause it's probably Zero point Zero as well.
No assuming here lol.
