    zero compression yes Zero lol !

    If you are going to run it, which I wouldn't do without some testing or tearing down, I would be easy on it for a while.

    rough Idea on compression ratio

    My goal here is to try to find a good set of pistons for my 340 that will put me into the 9 to 9.5:1 compression ratio. I am on a very tight budget here. (A bunch of unexpected life expenses came up all at once while I am trying to build this) My block is excellent but I need pistons and I can...

    Harmonic Balancer questions

    Thank you all. It seems that I was wrong as I do have the correct damper. Somehow in my mind, I thought differently. He still had the weighted converter on the tranny though. The weights were pretty big. Hell of a deal on the harmonic balancer!!!! I might still get one!!

    Harmonic Balancer questions

    I just found out that my supposedly externally balanced 340 has a forged crank. My trans had the weighted torque converter for sure but now I am questioning what harmonic balancer the idiot before me, put on the car. My engine is at the machine shop right now and the balancer is not where I...

    1972 340: engine oil smells like gas

    So, here is a problem that has been bugging me. My Duster's oil smells like gas. It has been happening over the years and gets to the point that the oil needs changed. I remember a few years ago, I changed the fuel pump to see if it helped but it didn't. The car only gets started and run as I...

    318 hp estimate??

    My 1st car was a 1968 Dodge coronet. Had the 230hp 318 w/ a Holley 4bbl (changed it to a Carter AFB). The car kicked butt on a lot of cars it shouldn't have (V8 Vega w/ a 4oo small block, Pontiac Grand Prix w/ a 455, 350 Buick Skylark and a bunch of others) the 4bbl really woke it up. I liked...
