340 stroker kit

[74340charger]

I am looking to put a stroker kit in my 340. I need to know some HP and price range. Also I would like a complete kit and to know that it isn't going to puke on me. On a differant note, has any one welded a stress crack on a 340 and had it last long? looking for some experienced peoples help, my first true mopar.

I got 414 HP and 466 ft/lbs Torque (at the crank) on a stroker I built using a 318. Put in a 4" MP Forged stroker crank, and went with a 4" bore, Diamond forged Pistons, and used all Edelbrock Performer RPM components (Heads, Cam and Air Gap intake, 800CFM carb). There is a thread on the entire build at this site. Was pricy though...

I have a new book that tells how to build them, and it gives some packages with prices from different engine places. I really need to know though how durable they are, what ones I should avoid. But it's nice to know that a little 318 can produce those numbers.

the one engine that Jim Szilagy didnt go really far in depth with was the 318 though, he stuck mainly with the 340's and 360's

He didn't really need to put in many details about it.  The only real difference is the bore size, and that isn't really an issue either.  Beer has shown that they can be punched out to "4.00 anyway.
