Can anyone tell me if any v8 will match up will a v6 auto tranny. I have a bad v6 in a 1999 dodge dakota and am not wanting to part out a decent truck. Can I get a 318 0r 360 to match up with existing stock automatic transmission or do I call Joe the wrecker?

Works great when not moving and the first mile is great. Then it starts.

Lights work great when first started up. A mile or so down the road they flicker and can remain off for a 2-3 seconds only to resume flickering on and off. I installed an additional ground wire to fender. With lights on in the driveway I have checked most connections and no flicker...

Any suggestions? 340 dart starts up great, lights work fine. 1 mile down the road they start to flicker and can be completely off for a couple seconds at a time before flickering again. I have added an addition ground wire to the fender and bypassed the hi/low beam floor switch. Thanks

Maybe someone can help me! Everything runs and works well on my 340 but it stalls on launch. If I baby the pedal until it gets rolling then I can put it all the way down. Idling and flooring it .........stall. Automatic trans. nothing tuff in the rearend yet. Thanks

Opinions and feed back appreciated. I have a strong fresh 340 in a 69 dart. With the original rear end that came with the 6 cylinder the car it ain't got the get up and go it should. Shift kit in the trainy and 2200-2800 convertor. Will gears get me out of the hole like this 340 should ...

Any opinions on keeping the original bench seat in 69 Dart and using a 16 inch Lokar shifter for the 904. Would this combo and shifter height work? Thanks, Steve

The 318 is coming out and the 340 is going in. Any suggestions on a front shock or spring to get the front end up alittle.I know a hemi could get it way up but I am just looking for a higher profile. I doubt a stock replacement shock will be enough. Existing 318 headers are pretty low and may...

Question for you 340ers. I'm looking at picking up a rebuilt 340 10:1 plus pistons, x heads, mild cam. The question is how significant would HP increase be by adding 4" stroker and of course wilder .5 plus cam? Thanks, Steve
