    Is/was there ever a 340 Magnum

    Yes, I'm pretty sure you are correct - except I believe that cam was only used in 1968 sticks. May have had a dual point distributor too. But the HP remained the same. They may have mentioned it in the ads but didn't make any comparisons suggesting that one was better/more potent/faster than the...

    Is/was there ever a 340 Magnum

    If OP Brooks James is referring to the actual engine specs.....There was only one version of a 340 for each respective year, no different specs (except 1970 340-6 in T/A and AAR E-bodies). "FOUR BARREL", "MAGNUM", it was all marketing. MAGNUM was a Dodge thing, just like Dodge & Plymouth each...

    Scamp bumper?

    Duster & Dart front bumpers are not the same. Dart Sport has a bigger point or beak. They just both gained the extra license plate carriage bolt locations when they went to the "shock absorber brackets". Dodge Dart Sport can also interchange with Dodge Swinger, Custom, Special & SE as long as...

    Scamp bumper?

    Scamp is a Plymouth so a Duster will work. BUT there is another variable to watch for: Standard vs "shock absorber" style bumper brackets. Chances are that you will have the latter "shock absorber" style brackets, but double check. Those latter bumpers are easily identifiable by 2 extra carriage...

    Rear shocks, what are you using?

    I also have Ranchos on the rear of my Dart Sport & Aspen Wagon race only with SS springs - RS999116 single adjustable. Calvert also had their brand relabeled for them but I don't know if there was any difference. The newest Ranchos are RS999116 but I don't know what they upgraded. The last time...

    mini tub

    Are leaf springs in the stock location, on 3/4' offset hangers or moved into the frame rails? I got 9" Hoosier slicks + sidewall bulges on a 10" rim to fit nicely in the wheelwell with 3/4" offset hangers. (no mini-tubs) I don't think you'll gain much without moving the springs. Early on I...

    727 yoke play

    Also remember that as the car is launching forward, the engine and trans are getting pulled back against rubber/poly mounts and even motor plates can flex a bit! Better to have a little too much clearance than not enough.

    904 Identification

    This is what a lock-up vs regular trans looks like externally. Gotta watch what some people advertise because they may not know what they have.

    Flex plate choice ???

    I've broken solid "ears" on the 4 ear SFI Mopar flexplates, but that's after a LOT of racing. I went to B&M solid round with no issues after that. I knew not to use OEM plates with cut-outs and was surprised the solid ear version broke.

    Bumper bracket questions

    1973 Dart Sports had standard brackets front & rear. '72 & earlier brackets & bumpers are different - (i.e.: Demon - straight bumper) Most 1974 Dart Sports had standard front brackets too. 1974 was a "transitional" year so results may vary. 1973 & earlier take the same brackets & bumpers. '73...

    Getting started to work on my 1974 Dart Sport. I got questions

    Cool car! I don't have many better suggestions than what you've been getting but I do have some questions that may influence what you do with it. * Is it a 318 or 360 car? I bought an OEM functional hood and scoop combo once off of what was surprisingly, a 318 car. If yours is a 1974 with a...

    727 Drive shaft & Ujoint Question

    * No, a 727 is about 4" longer than a 904 so the driveshaft length will be different for the same application. * No, 727 and 904 slip-spline yokes are different in size & spline count and do not interchange. (But they may take the same u-joint.) * Yes, there are 7260/7290 conversion joints...

    72 Duster Hood scoop fit

    There are 2 different OEM and aftermarket replacement scoops like that. One has a pretty flat base and was available for 1972 Demons (Also fit '70-'71 Dart & Demon). The other has a slight rise in the front/middle of the scoop available for 1973/1974 Dart Sports to fit their distinct contour...

    Are Blue Felpro Head Gaskets the Same for 273/318/340?

    While they can be interchanged, not all "blue" Fel-Pro gaskets are the same. The 1007 is .039" thick and has a "fire ring" built in. It's their best head gasket, especially for higher performance & higher compression applications. They have other part numbers that vary in thickness & probably...

    73 Duster / Dart sport door glass question.

    1973 is supposed to be a one-year-only glass. Not sure if the crash beams started in '71 or '72. Could you have a '74+ door on one side because '72 & earlier had the inner door handle in a different location.

    '69 Bcuda 340 loses cam plug in rear of engine

    Yes on the loop & it probably protected me. This was about 15-20 years ago but I'm pretty sure I didn't repair the block with the chunks missing. Thrust bearing would have needed replacement too. Went to billet rear yokes & solid Spicer joints after that.
