I need to look for where I bought mine two years ago. It sucks that the passenger side is not available as well.

Here you go. 340 Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield - P2946105

Sure,no problem, but it will take a while since all of the parts are at the shop in PA-it was definitely worth it though. The engine in the car now (from a 70 Demon IIRC) had the same treatment, but a Hughes hydraulic flat tappet cam and RPM Heads that I ported. one note on RPM heads: They are...

Thanks, but the cam is on the way, shite. I booked all of my flights to the USA for September( $3000 here and back) to get the engine built, so saving $50 is not an issue. Thanks though, I will keep that in mind in the future. My first stop is to see Uncle Tony. I met him years ago...then...

Wow, really nice. I ported out as set of of J and X heads to over 220 cc's. I sold them along and the folks that bought them were amazed...not to toot my own horn, but I have a special look when porting heads. I know how the air flows. I was taught by the best. I am building another flow...

Here is the engine configuration: Sonic checked original 340 block (could be bored +0.100" according to the sonic test.) Proform 4-bolt mains. Molnar crank (3.58" stroke) and Molnar 360 rods. Icon forged 360 +0.080" pistons, lightened to 495 grams Trick flow power port 190 heads (finish porting...

bore is 4.080" and oops, it is 3.58" stroke. (it is the original 1968 340 block) also with Proform 4-bolt mains. OH! and a flowed six-barrel as well.

It is a 340 +0.40. I did all the maths on paper, as well as the calculations on GoFastMath.com, the free horsepower calculator Oh, and I am a student of David Vizard. I have been doing this stuff for years (I am almost 60) David Vizard Performance Engines, Recipes, and Parts

Well, thanks to my brother, I found a Howards cam, and it is in stock (the last one). It should ship tomorrow. It looks like the extrude honed manifolds are not going to cut it though...TTI's and an X-pipe are ordered as well. Here is the cam: Howards Cams 712113-08 Howards Cams Steel Billet...

Hughes will not make such a "small" roller. They were my first choice. The Hydraulic flat tappet in the motor (Not the original, the "Velcro motor") in the car now is killer.

Can anyone help me out? I am flying back to the States to put the original motor back together for Lucille. I ordered a Voodoo Solid Roller Cam & Lifter Kit with an advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 261/267 ;Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/237 ;Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .555/.566 ;LSA/ICL: 110/106...

Hello all from Germany. If you know me on FB, than you know that I am putting the original motor together for Lucille. 340, +0.40" with a Molnar 360 stroke crank, Molnar rods and Icon 360 +0,80" oversize pistons with Total seal rings. I will be running a mechanical roller Lunati camshaft...

Oh, the adjustment for the front stop is hidden under the Duster emblem. Remove it with care...it is 50 years old.

I figured it out. The front stop was too low, and the rear stop was too high. Someone also set the rear brace in the wrong direction. In addition, I adjusted the door latch a bit tighter. Not optimal, but no gaps or problems with rolling the window down with the door open or closed. I also...

Here is a picture of the door.
