Thanks for the information. I’m going to use the stainless steel lines from Mancini if they are available.

Is there a difference between transmission cooler lines for an A Body Barracuda 904 vs727? Will be buying from Mancini.

Thanks.

Was wondering if anyone could tell me what this 340 OR182200 originally came in?

Bringing a 340 block, set of .030 over 340 pistons, 2 sets of I beam rods, 1j head 1x head, cast steel Stroker crank and a sb supercharger intake manifold.

Learn something new everyday. I now realize what piston rock is. Will get the average on each cylinder and compare. Thanks.

Yes. Read it. I’m measuring 90 degrees from the wrist pin. Tried to rock the pistons with the bridge installed. Couldn’t get them to rock. I’ve read where folks run .027 quench. Could I get by with.031 with forged pistons?

Just trying not to F this up.

Forged icon 745 pistons, molnar h beam rods and molnar forged steel crank. With the 521sd head gaskets should be .031 on the highest pistons.

Well, after remeasuring the piston protrusion they vary between.015 and .023 above the deck. I bought felpro 521sd gaskets.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve purchased some different measuring tools, bridge and dial indicator from summit. I’ll be remeasuring the piston protrusion tomorrow. Thanks for the information.

I’ll check all of them after work tomorrow. Thanks.

My pistons have a positive deck height. Icon 745 pistons, Molnar 6.123 h beam rods,Molnar 4” crankshaft. Pistons are .018 out of the block. Bore is 4.080. Using Speedmaster heads. I know quench height is critical. Would a .040 compressed head gasket be sufficient?

thanks for the information. You guys are great with info. FABO thank y’all.
