Here it is...

I used the original 2bbl throttle cable. I bought a Lokar kickdown cable for the 904 trans from Summit and a new bracket from MagnumHP. I'll see if I can find a pic.

I did a 2bbl to 4bbl swap on my Dart's 318. I used an older Eddy SP2P manifold and a 500 cfm Carter AFB carb. I can't really give you good performance comparison because my original 2bbl carb was running very poorly. Plus, I put headers and dual exhaust on it at the same time. Maybe a good...

joes68340s, the Edelbrock website says... This is for the 60179 part number you mention. So if your pistons are .020" out of the hole, and the head has .060" of clearance milled into the chamber, then there better be .040" from the piston dome to the head even with no head gasket in place. I...

So essentially you are talking about 'blueprinting' the heads to reduce/eliminate factory induced tolerance issues. I agree that is certainly a good thing to do. From your first post, it just sounded like the Edlebrock heads in specific had a inherent flaw in the valve seat area and that it must...

Did you check for broken motor mounts?

What is wrong with the valve job on the out of box Edlebrock heads?

Actually, no I don't. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you really didn't give us a lot of info: you have a 340 you must already have some kind of heads because you don't want to buy new ones you want min 450hp you don't want nitrous you don't want to spend too much Hmmm, what did I...

These two phrases are contradictory.

Moper, don't forget he would still need the carb, headers, and ignition so that bumps it up at least another $1000 or so.

Personally, I think a 500hp 340 would probably end up costing you more than a 500hp 408. Not only that, the 408 would be much more streetable because of low end torque. Why do you need to go 11.5's anyway???

I believe NHRA just changed the roll bar requirement from 11.99 sec to 11.49 sec. At least that is what I've read on other forums. Can anyone confirm that?

I think you will be very disappointed. The Sealed Power 285n piston that you mentioned is a flat top with 4 valve reliefs. The compression height is listed as 1.720". If you add that to 6.123" rod length and 1/2 of the stroke (3.31 / 2) 1.655" you get a compression height of 9.498". If your...

I have a 3200rpm stall in my daily driver (ImpalaSS) and I love it. My 16yo son was mumbling something about whiplash last weekend. :wink:

That's a lot of cam for a 318, especially with 1.6 rocker arms. What did your compression ratio work out to? You need at least 10:1 with those aluminum heads. You may also want to consider 3.91 gears and a 3200 stall convertor to help overcome the soft bottom end.

That's kind of apples and oranges. But it is an interesting comparison just the same. 42lbs injectors are only good to about 500hp. If you want 700hp, then you better get some 52lbs or bigger injectors.

Welcome. Can't help you much on the engine combo, but your plans make my 416 stroker sound kinda puny.

I've got one. Not running it yet. Hopefully will be soon. my squirt post :yawinkle:

I know a few LS1 Camaros and Trans Ams that are running this rear end. Supposedly it is pretty strong.

No, if you are a really anal nitpicker you go to comps website and get the actual lobe lift, which for the XE274H exhaust lobe is 0.327, and multiply it by 1.6 to give you 0.5232. :) xe274h specs

By flat top, he means neither a dome or a dish... flat. Yes, you will need valve reliefs. But what you don't need is 4 valve reliefs like some of the TRW pistons have. Look for a compression height that will get you close to zero deck. That will keep you from having to mill the block excessively.

PVT recently closed shop. They made the trick rocker arms.

The high compression 340 pistons come out of the hole. You can't run the standard Eddy head with these pistons because they would hit. Edlebrock macines a step into the 340 specific heads to eliminate this interferance. If you are building a motor with pistons that are at zero deck or below, you...

Here are a few more questions for you guys. 8) Crank Scraper - Does anyone sell these for a SB Mopar with a 4" stroke crank? Oil Pressure By-Pass Spring - If I use the HV pump, should I also put in the high pressure spring? Pump Priming - I saw in another thread I can use a 5/16" hex rod and...

Yes, I used a new gasket set from FelPro and even smeared some copper RTV on it. Part of the problem is accessing the screw to tighten it. The way my headers sit, they block all access from above. To get to it from below, you have to reach around and over the torsion spring and header tubes...

I think if I'm going to use an HV pump, then a larger volume pan is a definate requirement. This is the Milodon I am looking at. Only problem I have heard with it is I might need to trim the K-member for clearance. That's not a big issue. Anyone else have comments? I am currently using a...

I need to get some parts ordered this weekend. Looking for opinions/recommendations on what to get. This is for the 416 stroker motor going into my Dart. This is a mostly street car with an occasional trip to the track. Car will need to handle the twisty tracks as well as the straight ones...

So did I. It's called a MegaSquirt EFI controller.

Well, I just assumed it would be visible above the valve cover. And besides, there are no plug wires. :dontknow:
