finaly got something done..
Man, unless you start out with a solid goal for the power plant, this kinda thing plagues many a build, I’ve been there and still going through it with my Mustang. If you decide to sell the 340 and you’re not too far from Texas (hmmm! Lol!)
We will see where the engineplans goes,its probably just a case of overthinking things since i have to much time for it so to speak.
I know a stroker is probably the smartest way to go since the engine will be much nicer running for very little extra money,but it also feels alitle wasted since i have two forged 340 cranks that are nice and strong but not all that valuable anyway.
That twinscrew would be ooh so cool and was my dream when i started on this jurney but i know where that would end,it would end with that screw pushing 15PSI into a stockblock that will be destroyed in short order unless it just ends upp destroying all kinds of drivelineparts if it ever hooks and thats just going to push the expirationdate forward alitle on the block and i dont realy like the thought of destroying another 340,they are not all that comon as we all know.
Whenever i get done with the rustrepairs that needs to be done im sure something will be built in short order to power the thing down the road.
Im quite far from texas unless you ignore that fairly substantial puddle of water known as the Atlantic ocean ;)
I also have some thinking to do regarding the steering,if im going to bother trying to make the powersteering happy with somewhat high rpm or just drop it all togheter and go manual.
It would be nice getting alot less play in the steeringwheel.
I know that there is a leak in the PS system somewhere that i cant find for obvious reasons at present but it did use some fluid last it ran.
The pump has quite alot of back and forth play in it for some reason.
The brackets dont realy like the mix of frontcover/fluiddamper/waterpump/crankpulley arrangement this thing has,that would also be nice to sort out.
Have looked more than once at the Borgesen box and that seems to be a nice option if i can afford one over some time.
