    Edelbrock heads on a 340 with KB243 pistons

    They go to .040 not .053. I ran my 340 with the 484 cam, open chamber Eddy heads with the .028 thin Mopar gaskets and 3.73 gears and it was perfect on the street using pump gas. So if I were you that would be a good way to go for your dad.Get the quench at a comfortable number and dont use the...

    Edelbrock heads on a 340 with KB243 pistons

    I wouldnt run the clearance that close. Im not sure if you could get much thicker of a gasket set, Fel Pro are .040. I ran those pistons in my old 340 with open chamber Eddy heads and the thinner .028 Mopar gaskets. Isnt that the quench dome of the pistons you are refering too?

    What Expectations Can I Have With My Car?

    I would say if you have good rear tires with some bite then you should be easily in the 12's. I run 26x9.5x15 Hoosier Quick Times on 15x7 aluminum rims. Thats about all the tire I can fit in the wheelwells on a 69 Dart. I believe your Cuda has a bigger wheelwell so maybe some 28" tires would be...

    70 318?

    If you feel the need to keep it then get it and save it.

    OMG need help fast

    First thing I would do is turn the crank over by hand to top dead center, then move the crank back and forth to see how much the distributor moves if any-that will tell you if you have any chain stretch, and also while it is set on top dead center make sure the distributor is set at #1...

    360 and 727 TF

    If you are worried about running a 904 with your intended motor then you will be fine. A friend of mine runs 1 in his race car that runs mid 9's in the quarter. After a little bashing on it he has installed some high dollar parts for reliability reasons but ran it for a long time before said...

    340 has no balls

    Pistons sounding like they are rattling around and no power should be a good indication that you should stop driving it before you mess the block up if something like rods are an issue.

    ID heads

    Hey Tom, look at the heads by the spark plugs and see if you can spot a J,U,O, or X. If you dont see any of these then they might be a later style head. Since you know the part number then most likely they are decent heads. Greg
