Does the Cummins have glow plugs, or does the intake heater take the place of that?
I've never owned one, but I have a 2002 Ford F350 7.3L Powerstroke and it has glow plugs for pre-combustion.
Just a thought...
Hello All,
I acquired these along with some 360 J Heads that I purchased a while back.
They appear to be Speedmaster 1.5 Rockers but I am not 100% sure.
I believe they were new when assembled, but apparently the builder made some mis-calculations along the way:rolleyes:
I have no use for them...
The trick is, you have to keep them charged....
The instructions stated, charge completely after EVERY USE, and/or every two weeks, I have done that and it's hanging in there!
My brother gave me this one from Harbor Freight, Christmas 2022.
It's a little bulky compared to some of the new tech out there, but it has held up well, but it's a compressor, light, and USB charger too.
alone67cuda contacted me too the other day on the A833 Mainshaft I have been hunting for....
He said contact his friend James, he has one...

When I asked him if James is a member on FABO, he ghosted me.
No plans for a race build....just want a strong running, hard pulling, fun to drive 340!
I owned a beautiful 73 340 Cuda for a brief period of time in 1991, it too was great running car, but had to sell it cause I needed a truck.
I am sure it was a cast crank engine too.
I hope it's a 4 spd crank, cause that's my plan!
I have two 4 speeds here on the floor....
One is 4.354 with issues, and one OD trans...5.125 input retainer.....
I'll find out here in a few weeks!
I appreciate y'all so much!
Thanks for the responses...
Bought it off Craigslist about 3 years ago, and it happened to be about 30 miles from my brother's place in Minnesota, so he took delivery for me.
I haven't laid eyes on it yet, but I am planning a road trip here in a few weeks to pick it up.
Hello All,
I need to draw on your expertise and knowledge...
I bought this motor a few years ago for my Swinger V8 swap.
I've heard that some of the late 340's were externally balanced.
Please take a look at the balancer on this motor...
Is this a sign of external balance?
Thanks
