    Man! Sounds like I have missed a lot. Replicar built a great motor for me! Nothing but positive things to say. I haven't been on for a while, but since I have put his motor in my car in late spring, I have put over 1700 miles on it. Runs great! Very fun nice little 340. Every once in a while I...

    Agreed, I tried a couple times but keeps telling me oops! something not correct, for feedback. I have sent him this thread. I was shocked to, thought it was something I did. But if you read this thread about the tear down, it was crap!

    I bought a 69 dart this 340 was in. Several years ago. I took it apart. Took the block and crank with the heads to machine shop. The bore was good. Just had it honed. The pistons looked new. The crankshaft was turned 10 under rods and Mains.new cam and lifters. New oil pump. Rebuilt kit. Heads...

    Here's the car the engine will be going in. (Ha, back in) Dyno would be cool, but this is my 3rd go around with a 340. These little A body cars are so light, that I have found anything around 300 HP is plenty for me. In my early 50's now, and now seem to be more focused on reliability, an just...

    Rebuilt 340 knocking sound

    Got a little bit of an update. Went to local machine shop, showed the guy there my video and some my pics of my oil, he seems to think it may have flattened my cam. Just a guess, and he wouldn't know for sure, but a big chunk of his work now is from the crappy cams. That being said, he has a 4...
