Dodger ,
having put a 360 crank in a 340 .. yes great for hauling booty not for
towing..I had a heat problem that went away when the stroked 340 went out of
the truck... then took the 360 crank out and offset ground it to the spec's
for the McCandless build up 426 small block. that one really haulled
booty..found in a mopar mag several years ago,, maybe someone still has the
article.. all I remember was is cost me 7000. to do and didn't live long.
