Quick question. Just installed the motor in my 70 swinger. Looking at the motor mount holes the drive driver side is bottomed out and passenger side is approximetly 1/2" from bottoming out to the k member. If assume they should be both at the bottom of the grooves on the k member correct? Or is...

I just pulled off my motor mount bracket off my 70 dart 318 and threw them in the ultrasonic cleaner before work. I planed on using them on my 408 stroker (360) block. My buddy just told me the 340/360 driver side bracket might be different from the 318, is that correct? Also what size and...

This will be my first engine/trans install. I'm working on my 70 swinger currently waiting on new ARP bell housing/flex plate bolts. Once they arrive I plan on installing the smallblock engine/transmission in one piece, in the next couple weeks when I get some free time. I am probably over...

Looking for recommendations for new motor and transmission mounts. I have a 70 dart swinger and will be installing my 408 stroker shortly. Motor is pushing 502hp and 530 ft lb of torque on the dyno. Id imagine I should be going with something stronger than stock replacements. Car is mostly a...

I have a fully machined 360 block that I am not going to be using anytime soon. What is the best way to protect it for storage? Should it be completely coated with a light coat of grease(like wheel bearing) and then covered with a bag? I could coat it with motor oil but would that be good...

I just picked up a edelbrock chrysler small block 6 pack intake with two carbs. Im missing the center carbs. I beleive this is all stock 340 6pk parts. Origionally i thought about using the setup on my dart but i really dont want to go away from my 340 dual scoop hood. So kinda thinking...

I have been planning on rebuilding my 318 for my 70 swinger because it seems like I cant find a fair priced 340 complete locally unless the price is high. I just ran across a guy selling a 1967 boat with a complete 340. Not sure if it runs but has odviously been apart before becaause its painted...

i have seen some post of people using 273 rockers on 318s 340s and 360s. Im gathing parts for my 318 build and if i switch rockers are the 273 rockers a big advantage for a street motor?? Are they worth the investment??

Im getting ready to do a build on my 70 318. I haven't disassembled the motor yet but have it on the stand. I believe the 70 crank is cast. Am I safe to use this stock crank if I do get anywhere near 400hp?? I am pretty much setting my build on the hot rod magazine 400hp 318 build. I don't...

I am starting to round up parts for my 318 build and had a question regarding the camshaft. I am pretty much basing my build on the 400hp setup out of hot rod magazine they did about 10 years ago. Although I will be making a few minor changes. This will be my first actual performance build...

I am going to be building a 318 motor for my 70 swinger. Basically using the 400hp buildups everyone knows about. So I need an airgap intake. I already have the mopar performance black wrinkle finish valve covers and air cleaner (if it clears the hood). I recently saw the airgap black powder...

I am trying to find my best choice on buying a set of 1.88/1.60 valves for my #302 casting heads. The only sets i can find are on ebay. They are a pretty decent price coming in at under $100 for the set. Here is one example...

I just bought a 90 318 with plans to use the heads on my 70 dart. Once i have taken it apart i notice they are not 302casting and are 714 casting and looks like they oil through the pushrods like a magnum motor. But they still have the heart shaped combustion chamber. Most articles i read...
