the 340 is out of the same engine family as the notorious Buick turbo v6 of the 80's, the 215ci stock block Indy car competitor of 1961 and the Buick 350.
though light, it is very strong as it's a fully skirted Y-block design.
the problem is that it was only in production for two years ( 1966-67 ) and there is little to no development for it and very few parts. www.TAPerformance.com is on the verge of putting aluminum heads for this on the market ... but that's more because the 215/300/340 design is shared with the Land Rover v8 than because it's for the 340.
which, by the by, finding a Land Rover engine guy near you would be a good idea to have this worked on.
turbo and / or nitrous would be the most cost effective ways to get power into it.
