Race block? So these won't fit a standard 340?

Ok I rebuilt a 904 years ago, still have it unused, that when I went to put it in the dang convertor wouldn't fit the pump drive and I was told that this was because the tranny was a lock up convertor trans and that I'd need a lockup convertor for it. Is this what I would need for that?

I haven't forgotten but I went and got a complete 273 this weekend for parts to complete the 340 I'm working on now too.

I am sorry guys, wasn't able to get to it this weekend. All the daily drivers had issues, so the old man was called in to fix em. I'll try to get this back together this week and start it up and test some stuff from your suggestions.

Do these have bushings?

I just thought about this and the engine is actually a 73 but the car always had electronic voltage regulator in it so I don't think it mattered much. The original engine harness was points and a friend cobbled it to electronic ignition. So when I redid the car I bought a new one and no...

I will take a look at the suggestions and thank you Mattax and Phreakish. Probably won't be until the weekend though. Sorry I didn't give enough info but I've been lucky enough not to have strange electrical issues before so haven't had to ask for help much on this subject.

Allright! Damn! If I'd have known what to put I'd have put it in the question. I was hoping that someone would just say ask me more so I could figure this out. It's a 72 Dart with a repro wiring harness with dual ballast. showing 20 amps charge anything over idle. It's an old alternator and was...

Please read title. Now I find the ignition module and voltage regulator have smoked and eaten paint off of not only, the inner fender well under and around the ignition module, but the hood above it. A little under and around the voltage regulator too. I know I need to replace both but could...

Available?

Thanks everyone! I'm no longer concerned about it with a few different ways to address it!

I am building a 340 form my 72 Dart. Originally a /6 I swapped in a 73 k member with the 318. It has spool mounts and am remembering people talking about motor mounts not being the same. So do I need to find different mounts to put the 340 in the car? Thanks

It will fit 70-72 at least, not sure when the extension changed, but that is for sure a 72. It's the only one that has that style marker light looking like this. The 70/71s had inset marker lights like the second picture. They would have to just do some cutting and maybe patching.

Thanks! Not all telling because no history of it, but it is a 67-model year block according to the casting date. 2-9-67. So that should mean the oiling of the shafts and forged crank then. If I do go solid flat tappet, this would make it easier to do I would think.

Ya I saw one near Lansing Michigan. That's 5.5 hours one way for me. I just found a pretty much complete 318 for $100. I might just go that direction. I don't know how much I can sell parts off of the 273 for to recoup some of my money though it does come with a transmission too.

Thanks, I didn't realize there was much of a difference. I think I may go solid or solid roller so I may be needing new push rods too if solid roller.

Thanks everyone. I have a 340 I'm putting together and only have a short block and am looking at possibly getting a 273 or 318 complete to get most of the hardware, little thought of parts that I will need and thought the adjustable rockers would be a nice addition to it. I have a 67 273 near me...

Were all 273 rocker arms the same? I mean was there a difference between the 2bbl and 4bbl engine valvetrains? I guess I should ask if there's an available source for the adjusters anymore too. Thanks

I think that's what I will do if I can get a 273 or 318 cheap enough. If not well I guess I start researching parts! Thanks guys!

So I need to finish the 340 out, have block, crank, rods and pistons, while going with aluminum heads off some type. I was wondering if it would be best to just buy an old complete engine to get all of the other parts to complete the rest of the engine. Like oil pan, oil pump drive etc. What do...

I have these pedals and I'm pretty sure they're early A body, pre-73, looking at the parking brake handle. Any help here? Thanks

Thanks for everyone's ideas! I have 2 completes that I need to sell and I know I will be asked to ship. Seems like a pain to do. I'll be posting them soon though. After I figure out the way I'm going to pack them. That way they are ready to go when someone buys them rather than waiting for me to...

I'll definitely keep this in mind. With all that I think I'd have to add a little for handling the way it sounds. That isn't a 20 minute pack up like when I sold the sure grip carriers.

Not a problem man. Thanks for replying!

Was it like this? Home Made Easy 8-3/4 Center Chuck Storage | For A Bodies Only Mopar Forum

That's for a whole rear end. I looked at that one. Well I didn't look all the way down the thread but he mentioned wheel studs near the top. Maybe I missed it?

Ok what is the safest way to ship one of these? I see the how to on how to store one but didn't see anything through searches on how to ship it. Thanks for any help.

Anyone around here got a 340 for sale? I am around Peoria. Missed the Belvidere swap today. Anymore around to go and look?
