Old Race 340 Teardown
Had a talk with my friend, more about his projects than mine, but it did help me make up my mind. I'm going drag racing. I can start with the Valiant with the street 360 and 4-speed I have in it right now and hopefully graduate to the 340 (355) once I have gone through it. Judging by the one rod bearing I have looked at there should be plenty of life in the rods for make enough runs to make me happy!
Funny thing, while he and his family were here this arrived:
So we both had a quick look. Really got the pulse rate up!
I also started reading this thread The Plymouth Weslake DOHC Motor from the 60's
Really good references. I was always a fig fan of the Gurney-Weslake projects, especially the Eagle F1 car. I think I will have to find a copy of the Mopar Performance Handbook by Larry Schreib.
I recognized a lot of you from that thread so please continue with the feedback.
