I have the casting number of the block but am not sure on the deck height or the cam bearings yet. Its patially assembled and I need to see what the part numbe of the block is. I have read that it is suppose to be stamped near were the starter attaches.

I have an opportunity to acquire a R3 block that is dry sump. I would like to convert it to a wet sump. The block does not have the oil filter part cast into the block. Is it possible to convert to a wet sump? I know I will need an internal oil pump and a wet sump pan, what els needs to be done...

No I do not.

Anyone have any information on the above pistons for 340? Just looking at a set and don’t know what specs they are. Seller says they are forged.

Sorry, posted on my phone and half of what i typed didnt show up! Fresh 30 over 360 block with ported W2 heads. I have flat top pistons now and need more compression. They are .005 in the hole. The W2 heads are 73 CC. I want a hot street motor on pump gas. I dont have a cam or lifters. I do...

I bought the heads used and didnt know they had previously been cut. Didnt realize the open part was that deep stock. These heads cc to 75 cc!

As stated before, i have an old SSh-320 Crane cam but im pretty sure i need a different one from what i have learned here. Any suggestions? I have tooling and can cut the valve pockets larger and deeper if needed.

Just kicking around some figures. The open chamber part of the W-2 head is roughly .050 deep on all 8 chambers. if I cut the heads.050 and the intake side the correct amount I can use a .035 head gasket and have .040 quench on the 360 and 10.61 compression ratio Same senerio on the 340, but...
