Hot street 343 build

99.7 in 2nd.  Might have hit 130 if I had another 1/4 mile

Dropping parts off to the balancer Wednesday.

Heads are finished, stainless valves 10 degree retainers and locks.

Pulled 16" vacuum.

For a ‘street’ car (and I get there’s a difference of opinion in what that means), a good running/idling engine with crisp throttle response and low-end torque that pushes you back in your seat while you can still hear the radio is a wonderful thing and a joy to drive. 

However, like everything else in life, it’s extremely subjective. 

Also I have a nice Torker I welded up heat crossover and an Offenhauser 360 not sure which I'm gonna use.

I'm using Edlebrock shorty headers, I removed the small exit flanges and welded on 3" mandrel bent pipe I ran an 11.26 with these in my rambler.

650 Summit carb.

Internally balanced.

Later rocker bridge heads converted to screw in stud.

I port matched intakes and cleaned up the exhaust ports, polished up the pockets.

I tried not to change the shape as I don't have a flow bench.

You guys think it will make 350 hp
