    New to 340 so I have questions

    Agreed. Not a formatting problem, though. Just incorrect information. The person who wrote that probably heard of someone that had a 292/.508” cam in a 340 and took it as the gospel that the factory put it in.

    Single rod replacement & weight difference

    I’m assuming your numbers mean big end weight & small end weight. If so, the 2 gram difference between 166 and 164 is ok, but 429 and 415 is too big of a difference.

    340 with edelbrock heads overheating

    My buddy is doing a budget 360 build for his Dart. He had great success with small Lunati Voodoo cam in a 383 he had, so I told him to get another Voodoo cam.

    New forum group, Nor-Cal Mopars

    Saw an old friend’s ‘65 Dart wagon today. I’m curious if anyone here owns it or knows who does. I saw it in Campbell.

    Rear sway bar for 1964 plymouth valiant

    FWIW, The Red Brick, aka "Tim's Valiant", which is quite possibly the best handling torsion bar and leaf spring Mopar out there had 40+ year old stock 340 rear leaf springs.

    N. California Best Car Show is Saturday June 10th, 2023 at DeAnza Collect in Cupertino

    The show seemed like it was better than last year, but a bit of feedback for those who ran the show. The photo thing was a great idea, but I don't know if you realized that cars were backed up all the way to the main entrance and had to creep forward and either idle or keeping shutting the...
