I suggest running what you have if you need a carb now and call a few places with your car and engine specs and see what they recommend and how the carbs would be set up. Save your funds for a carb that is suited to your combo then sell the 750 when it arrives.

Also remember to check your valve to piston clearance if you increase the lift. Watch for any other valve train clearances such as pushrod to head, rocker to retainer, pushrod to rocker, ...

I was considering putting a 9.2" deck R3 in my Dart. Has anyone done this with headers and accessories from a stock deck height block? Just wondering if there may be any clearance issues with headers and suspension and possibly accessories with the slightly lower deck of the R3. My headers...

Thanks for all the input. I did not expect the machining costs to be that high to remachine and harden the crank. Here is another option. What are your opinions? I have seen spacer kits available for using a 340 main crank in a 360. I believe callies and Mancini carry them for around $300...

Thanks for confirming what I thought. The crank I am planning to get is a forged unit. Never hurts to have options down the road.

Just curious if anyone has any information on the cons of milling a 360 main forged crank for installation in a 340 main block. Does the removal of the material weaken the crank? Would the crank need to be hardened after the machining? Just wondering as I am building a 360 stroker and...

Thanks for the response. I suspected that each part number had unique specifications. I was inquiring about a block for sale and had doubts about the owners specs for the block. I personally did not post this question on other sites however. I will have to check out classicmopars. Not...

Anyone know the specs on the Mopar performance block P4532435? Do these come in various deck heights or one and if only one would you know what it is? Same question on the lifter angle. Thanks

Thanks for the information. Yes you are richt I forgot the inspections and possible mods to the rods and crankshaft as well as the balancing.

I am preparing my block to go to the shop. I have yet to pick the shop I will use. What are most people paying for the key maching steps in a quality street strip build including - boring and honing with torque plates - squaring the block - line boring - clean and inspect - sonic check of...

Thanks. Is there a site where I can find the specs on all W2 head part numbers?

My friend has aset of W2 heads that have been sitting on the shelf for 10 years. Part number is P4876336. It is a closed chamber head. Anyone know if it is a 59 degree or 48 degree tappet head and what the valve angle is - 15 degree or 18 degree? I can't seem to find much information on...

I am getting ready to bring my small block 340 to the shop. I will have it sonic checked before boring. Anyone know the limit that a cylinder bore can be in its thinnest point to ensure a good round bore and proper ring seal? Application will be strip street and shooting for 500HP - 550HP...

Will the Mopar Performance 8 bolt flange cranks bolt up to the standard 6 bolt flywheels or flexplate? If not what flywheel or flex plate is required?

A friend of mine has a set of W2 econo rockers that I was hoping to use on my W2 race heads (milled pedestals). Does anyone know if the econo rockers can be used if I use the race W2 race shafts and stands? Thanks

Where are you drilling the extra drainback holes?

Thanks for the reply's. I am building a bracket racer - low 10 second A body. Currently running a solid lifter cam but may go roller next time around. I have the windage tray and a Hamburger aluminum rear sump pan without the kickout. Just trying to see if there are any little tricks out...

I have read many articles about oil system modifications for small block engines but there was never much indicated on how to ensure quick and efficient return of oil to the pan to minimize windage around the crank and cam. I have seen pictures of small plates bolted over the cam tunnel but not...

You can always use a checker valve spring with the retainer you plan to run and measure the travel you have until the retainer touches the valve guide. If you subtract the minimum allowable clearance required between the guide and retainer at full lift from the total travel distance, this will...

If you are getting your heads ported I would wait until you can get some flow numbers. With this information, SD or a cam company like Comp, Crane, Hughes, ... will be able to give you a good recommendation based on your combination and goals. Matching all the parts of the engine, transmission...

I will be rebuilding my 69 Barracuda's 340 over the winter and was considering upgrading the intake to an Edlebrock RPM. I was wondering if anyone has tried this combo with the stock hood and air cleaner. Any clearance issues? I believe the RPM is 1 inch taller than stock. I was also hoping...

Has anyone used a 9.2" race block. A friend of mine has one he wants to sell. Currently I have a stock deck height 340 with W2 heads. I am concerned the lower deck height may lead to clearance issues with headers, difficulty installing the intake and require more expensive pistons to build...

Any one know if you can run stock J heads or W2/W5 heads with a 48 degree tappet block without issues or if modifications are needed? How about camshaft availability? Thanks

I have seen a few used ones around and was wondering if they would work with my stock flywheel. Any idea if the stock flywheel can bolt on?

I Was looking to purchase a crank for my project and have seen Mopar Performance cranks with the 8 bolt flange and was wondering if they can be used wth the stock 340 flywheel or flexplate. Thanks
