71 plymouth scamp build

Yup, no 340's in a Scamp. One option is to hang a 70 Dart nose on it then you can run it as a 70 Swinger 340 with the 299hp AVS. The Crate motor is a great way to go if you are in a good location to run IHRA events, and it would be much cheaper to build a crate motor car. Good 340 parts are getting harder and harder to find and big $$$$. Biggest problem with that body style is getting a tire under them, but they make a great race car! I had a 71 Dart GT bracket car that was set up like a stocker, worked great, won a lot of rounds with that car.

Good Luck!!!
