looking for engine

[philm]

Hi All

I am looking for a new engine for my 68 Satellite, I was about to rebuild the 340 that was in it,saddly my so called 340 turns out to be a 318, so no longer am I keeping it numbers matching and now keen to put a big block in it,but want something with good bits in it ,not just standard.
If any one has and engine or knows of one please let me know.

Cheers

Years ago, Hot Rod magazine ran an article on how to build a 330 horse power 318. All I can remember is the recipe used a 318 block, 340 internals, 360 heads and some big thirty valves. The ultimate 318 sleeper, huh?

Blessings,
Shakota

You can stroke the 318 to a 390...

They can't build a good engine and will look for a core but you of course need a pocketbook with large bills.
