Re: Important if you run D-H/S or SA
No Alum.Heads or Manifolds on our 340s..... we are not willing to spend the money anyway on what the heads cost let
alone a complete engine. We still won class out of a pretty stout field last time it was out West (April) and also the majority of our "Heads Up" races over the last few years. The engine builder and my very good friend we often have used over the years said............$10,000+ for a set and $40,000 plus for a complete record setting D/SA 340 that is 1.5 + under and THAT is to a good friend. I have been racing 340s since New AND we both will go 1.10 under in good Air IF we have to.......................But Nearly 1,6 under is IMPOSSIBLE for us no matter how hard we work (Believe me we Do!) on our decent sized budget. $10,000 is more than I paid for either of the Demons turnkey OR the Wagon turnkey.......Never mind $40,000+ We probably should go on back soon to just Bracket Racing and save the money for my grand kids to use.

There's a lesson here for AMC racers: Ask for one piece at a time.. Manifold, (Chrysler, Ford) Cam , (Ford) , Carb, (Ford)

But the manufacturer doesn't make the intake manifolds any more that are being discussed! Heads are a different story. The biggest side benefit of approved aftermarket parts is that it helps keep the aftermarket industry going. However, there is nowhere near as much logic and consistency in approved/superseded parts as there should be.

Re: Important if you run D-H/S or SA
It appears that the 1970 combo has become the choice du jour, is the LD340 the reason per chance?

Pontiac put their part number on this for the '62, and '63 cars. Guess I can use it too? (and please bone heads...accept the sarcasm)

That intake doesn't look that much different than the bathtub model, give or take an inch or three. John Kissel
