Lots of opinions here. I run Amsoil Dominator 10W-50 in my mini-stock flat tappet engine. No issues at all. For my built 340 Dart Sport with a solid cam street car I run the Amsoil 10W-40 Z-Rod with the zinc.

My build is similar to yours - 73 Sport 340, Eagle crank with H-beam rods, JE flat top pistons, decked, Edelbrock heads, RPM Air Gap intake, 750 Holley, Schumacher headers, 3.91 Sure Grip and Chevy 200-4R trans. 1.6 roller rockers. I got with B3 Engines for their geometry correction kit for the...

I think of the Restorations page as a place to show what you are working on, not what you've already completed, along with notes on what and how you're doing it. This page is where I learned the basics of adapting a 200-4R trans to my Dart 340 Sport. And that's just a small part of what I've...

Bolts should stick out at least by the diameter of the bolt plus 1/8.

However you end up lowering it, be sure to check your pinion angle afterwards.

73 Sport. Built 340, Chevy 200-4R Trans, 3000 stall, 3.91 Sure Grip. Ran mine through the radiator and then the cooler, then back to trans. No issues. I also have the finned aluminum deep trans pan.

This is the Wilcap adapter behind my 340. What's crude about it?

Actually its 700-R4 and 200-4R.

The Wilcap adapter is not an ugly piece at all. The poster must be thinking about another one. Here are two photos of my adapter. The kit comes with everything you need to bolt a 200-4R to the 340. And there is nothing at all to cut from the engine block or the trans. I am totally satisfied.

Try Mymopar.com and download a service manual. You'll find a wiring diagram there and you can follow the path from the sender to the gauge. If it's like my 73 Sport 340, there's a connector behind the driver's foot panel where you can find the wire color specified in the manual. Locate that wire...

Check out Wilcap adapters. I used one of their adapters to put a 200-4R behind my 340 in my 73 Sport. Fits without cutting the tunnel at all.

On my non-Mopar race truck, I use the ATI Super Damper for my engine/trans angle. Then to the rear with the equal but opposite deal. Has always worked for me.

I've found that Honda Bond works well when RTV seems to not seal as I'd like it to.

Would love to know how all of these different brands compare with the stock-sounding mufflers offered by some companies, such as Accurate. As an old guy, I still remember how nice the 340's sounded from the factory back in the day. As an aside, I have Dynomax Super Turbos on my built Sport 340...

Check out Schneider Cams offerings. Used it in my mini-stock race engines for years runninig a solid cam.
