The 340 is a killer small block, big boar short stroke. I stroked mine to a 416 with a 4" crank and 30 over. Then a $5000 set of CNC Indy cylinder heads, custom grind cam, intake, 1050 Dominator etc etc. The last time out after the new heads my 60's went from 1.5's to 2.1's. I couldn't hook the car to save my life. Bent all ten wheel studs, bananad' the perches on my Dana 60 and managed a 11.10 at 131 mph with a 2.1 60. I should have crashed and burned that day so I vowed never to race the car again. It's haunts me to this day, that car should do a 10.5 to a 10.20 but I'll never take it back to find out. I got handed a second life that day so I'll keep it. How my axle didn't come out from under the car I'll never know? At 131 mph it would have been over. I 4 linked it after that just because. It's a 4 speed car and it's violent rowing the gears. Lot's of fun but I respect it.
I'll get the GN down the track in the low ten's and call it a day.
