I can put a set of the small Hemi heads on my '56.... It has a 270 (Semi-Hemi) Red Ram Poly in it. I know it's not as easy as just bolting on the heads. By the time I would go through all that I might as well do what I want to.... 440 strocked to 500" with a 5spd behind it. Hey, that cars...

Howard, We have the Best group of guys (and ladies ) on the net here.... But fyi they wont stop until they get there fill of "car ****" pics. lol

Welcome aboard! THe 340's are gret and your sounds like it'll be alot of fun. Post some pics. We'd love to see it.

It's 77.52 at Bishkobooks.com. They have alot of good stuff. I got a reprint of the owners manual and fsm for my '68.

cool, thanks for posting that.

Yep, check the dist. I've been through that before.

When I'm done with my '68 I'll break it in with conventional then switch to full synthetic. I'll be running Royal Purple 5 or 10w30. My build will include fairly close clearances.

The only parts I don't have are the rings, and ARP bolts. I have a brand new 770 Holley street avenger carb in the box, The Performer cam and lifters are new in the box, the dbl. roller timing set is new in the package, I also have a new Blue streak cap/rotor, reman electronic dist., MSD super...

I've been toying around with differant ideas for my '73 340. what would you do if it was yours? Heres the spect that won't change.: '73 340 std bore block '69 340 10.5:1 pistons w/ rods J heads 2.02's windage tray double roller timing set Currantly it has an Edelbrok performer...

myasylum, You might be better off looking into some junk yards around you for a better deal, or maybe some one on here in your area might have some thing. Getting that 318 might end up being a project for your project. If your looking for something to go through and rebuild cheaply and you...

I have no idea what this engine will end up in ( more than likely an A body), what ever ends up happening it'll have a 4spd behind it... I wish my '68 was a 4spd. Being how I already have the cam & intake i'll use them, that wont be a problem to upgrade as that project moves along. I'm more than...

Yeh, I'm not out looking for a forged crank, But if I find one I would rather have one. That way as plans change ( and we all know how that goes lol ) I'll be ready for what ever i deside on.

I know there are more potent combos out .... but I'm also not sure what this will end up in. I'm also not planing on hitting 6500rpm. Something a little over what a 68-70ish 340 came from the factory with is good enough for me. If I was 18 again it would be a differant story. I'm not looking for...

Just wondering if any one knows what the interchange is between a '73 340 and the older ones ( '68-'70ish )? I want to breath new life into my 340 and let it live up to the CID reputation it was origanaly born with in '68. I'm getting a set of rods, pistons, bearings and windage tray from a...

I've got a set of 360 heads that have been cleaned up and would rather have a set of X heads for my 340. maybe you would be interested in a swap?

I know I have the info baried some where. My '73 340 is a low comression mess. I was "busy" @ work looking up parts for it... Will '68 pistons fit ( I know the bore's the same before I get any "fun" answers) The only thing I'm concered with is the pin and internal VS external balance.... I'm not...

More power, More power, Mopower. You can get a vacum pump for your brakes and hide it.

If you post the numbers some one on here will be able to decode them for you.

Tom Hoover wanted to move the cam position more in line with what the new Hemi's have for the 426, But Chrysler was dead stuck on haveing part interchangabilty so they wouldn't go for it. I read that in an artical not too long ago when he was commenting about the new Hemi design. I do agree with...

"Can't we all just get along?"

Personaly I'm keeping my cuda all stock and easy to work with, My next project will get some of the hi-tech stuff... It'll get a HEMI, rated in CID not Ltrs. I wouldn't through out the idea of droping a new Hemi in an A-body though, That would be cool. Of course any A-Body is cool as long as...

I read an artical where thy took a crate 5.7 ( the same thing that comes in the trucks), eliminated the rev limiter, put on long tube headers, and changed the cam.... 480HP. I'll be happy when my truck is making those numbers.

I just bought a SuperChips reprogramer off ebay. I can't wait until that comes in and I get to see/feel the differance... my cold air intake has already helped alot. The cold air is good for 10.5HP, and SuperChips is claiming apx 12.5HP. Headers, cam and torque converter should round it out for...

I'm still driving it. I need to get some anti freeze for it though, when up to temp it's at the add line. I think the battery is about ready to go though. It's starting hard after sitting (not more than 12hrs) and the guage is reading about 3/4 to the max charge. I could test it at work and...

My buddy has a 5.3 and he found out it's piston slap in the bore due to short skirts on the pistons...he doesn't know how much gas he has eather! I use Castrol synthetic blend 5W20. Mine Doesn't have the multi cyclender crap on it, I think that came out in '06. I was kind of wondering about...

Has any one heard of any problems with the 5.7 Hemi? Mine started ticking shortly after I bought it. Also on my second oil change I noticed water on the inside of the oil cap and a little sludge in the dipstick tube. My coolant res. is on the add line but hasn't gone down from there, it...

When I got ahold of the guy he had already sold it....just my luck!

Looks like an oil leak.

Thanks guys, Now I just have to get it and find a hole in the garage to stick it in. My overall goal is to sell it with a 8 &3/4 as a package deal with my '56, then sell off alot of the other suff i've ended up with over the years so I can get the cuda in the body shop.

Any one know of a good place to find out all the specs on motorhome 440's ( Comp. ratio, HP/TQ. Etc Etc). I'm picking up a '76 440 W/727 for 150.00. It's compleat minus carb and only has 36k on it. I think it'll look good under the hood of my '56. The crank alone should be worth 150.
