I blew up a 340 in my 70' swinger and while a new 340 block was being built,i just threw in a 318 shortblock for awhile with all the 340 components. Block already had a stock 68' 340 4 spd cam in it. There was not a lot of difference in how it ran and it reved faster than the 340. I would say it...

I went .040 over for a displacement of 418". Diamond forged pistons/ Eagle 7/16" I beam rods/Scat 4" forged crank/Childs and Albert rings and the usual oiling tricks w/8 qt. pan. The unusual route i went was that i used a set of Edelbrock magnums heads that were ported by Hughes Racing Engines...

The last 340 block i bought was $250 on E-bay. I had to drive about 100 miles into Northern MN,but man what a deal i got there. The guy had tons of Mopar stuff and i dropped another $1,000 for an Art Car built 727/2,600 stall setup/oil pans/timing chain covers etc. etc. but included in that was...

I went a different route than most and i ordered each individual piece from different places. I bought certain things from E-bay suppliers,which tend to undercut Summit,Jegs and others. 418"s Based on my 71' 340 block. .040" over Diamond Forged -21cc dished pistons. Childs and Albert rings. Scat...

Same as mine. Glen

Depending on your budget,i would say yes to both questions. I checked my 418" alignment straigtness before it went to the machineshop,and i even installed ARP studs. I put the bearings in,torqued it down and there was no binding and it felt good,so i did not have it align honed. I would...

I would buy em'! Then i would go out and get some nice bubble bath,some scented candles,a nice romantic movie,a nice bottle of wine and some VERY nice lingerie. And when she got home after i relaxed in the tub with the bubble bath and candles and watched the movie and drinking the bottle of...

I had a 69' 340 timing cover and when i built my 360, of course the timing tab is on the opposite side. I cut a piece of birch and ground it down to look original and epoxied it in place,painted it,located TDC and painted the timing marks on it. No cost,only time. Glen

I just scored a complete 93'(w/accessories,alt,starter,flywheel,etc.) 5.2 engine w/120,000 kms. Phoned the guy up and asked him to give me the casting numbers on the exhaust manifolds.53006619 and 53006618. SCORE!!!!! He said the engine ran great and he pulled it out of his truck and installed a...

If you find a complete 92'-early 93' magnum w/exhaust manifolds, casting numbers 53006619/53006618....you can sell the 2 1/8" outlet manifolds for $100-$150 on E-Bay. Enough for a set of bearings and a case of beer!:D Glen

My 71' 340 block has no number also and i KNOW that this was a warranty engine

Here's a picture of my 1.6 Pro Comp rockers on Eddy magnum 418" stroker

I just sold a 418" stroker w/Eddy magnum head engine. I'm looking at doing another build and came across a 70' block,tanked,decked,bored and honed w/plates, .040" over. TRW 2316 pistons,bushed rods and a steel crank,however... it is cut -.040"/.040". Just wondering if it would loose a little...

You did not specify if you are looking for a forged or a hyper piston. Assuming you are looking for a hyper piston it may be a bit harder to find in .040" over which will give you 418" instead of what most sell as a 416 or .030" over in a kit. I have .040" Forged Diamonds #51412, but mine are...

I was wondering where i put my crack pipe! Glen

I went .040" over with an Eagle 4" forged crank for a total of 418"s. Scat I beam rods and Diamond forged pistons,with a set of Childs and Albert rings and Clevite coated rod bearings and full groove mains. I shopped around and bought everything from different suppliers.Save yourself a headache...

Just installed engine and trans. I've got the rear seal to trans still blocked off so no oil leaks out back. Has anyone ever fired an engine for 10-15 min. just to check for leaks without installing as driveshaft is still in shop being balanced? Glen

I can see you used 2 of the bypass hoses,but how did you come up with the crossover tube? Glen

Yes,the side trim is factory.The trim on the fender is a cast pot metal with "Monaco 500" emblems and the door on back is a "brite metal" which is painted satin black down the middle.The car has a front frame section and not a uni-body like most Mopars as you can see in the firewall pics. There...

My name is Glen and even though i don't have an A body any more,i have a 69' Monaco with a 418" stroker and i have been lurking here as i get lots of info about the small blocks and other subjects. I had a Plum Crazy 71' Duster 340 4 gear. I even towed the Duster from Winnipeg to Calgary (825...
