No Alum.Heads or Manifolds on our 340s..... we are not willing to spend the money anyway on what the heads cost let
alone a complete engine.

We still won class out of a pretty stout field last time it was out West (April) and also the majority of our "Heads Up" races
over the last few years.

The engine builder and my very good friend we often have used over the years said............$10,000+ for a set and $40,000 plus
for a complete record setting D/SA 340 that is 1.5 + under and THAT is to a good friend.

I have been racing 340s since New AND we both will go 1.10 under in good Air IF we have to.......................But Nearly 1,6 under is IMPOSSIBLE for us no matter how hard we work (Believe me we Do!)
on our decent sized budget.

$10,000 is more than I paid for either of the Demons turnkey OR the Wagon turnkey.......Never mind $40,000+

We probably should go on back soon to just Bracket Racing and save the money for my grand kids to use.
