I'm getting ready to install my 340 into my Dart and I'm wondering if I should use the stock pilot bushing or use a roller bearing. The 318 that's in the car now didn't have the crank drilled for a bushing so I just used a roller bearing instead but the 340 that's going in had a 4 speed on it so...

In about two weeks it'll be time for spring break which means I'll have some time off of school. While most students will be out partying and having fun, I'll be in the shop hard at work building the new engine for my Dart. I hope to have it done in about four days. Pull the 318 out on Friday...

I have 6 quarts of SAE 30 break in oil from Lucas that I plan to use when it's time to break in my 340. Have any of y'all used it? If so, how'd it work out? It says I don't need any additives but I really don't want to risk wiping a lobe. I've also got 6 quarts of Royal Purple HPS 10w30 for...

My friend just scored a 67 D100 for free and it's been sitting for about 15 years or so. Anybody got any good tips on starting an engine after its been sitting for so long? We got a new battery for it, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new fuel lines, and I rebuilt the carb but haven't put it back...

I bought an engine last year and this trans came with it. I don't have a need for it since my car has a manual trans. Previous owner said it was pulled from a running and driving 68 Plymouth but I've never ran it myself. I still have the converter, flex plate, inspection cover and other odds and...

What all is needed to swap out my 3 speed for a 4 speed? I found a non-OD A-833 on craigslist that I might buy if it's a short tail shaft trans. He's going to get me the measurements later today. I'm already running a dual pattern bellhousing with my A-230 so bolting up an A-833 shouldn't be a...

I came across a 340 locally that I can pick up for a fair price. For under $600 I'd get freshly machined '72 340 block with new cam bearings and freeze plugs, with the crank, rods, and new pistons. I also have a set of 915 J heads that I'd rebuild and put on the 340 if I got it. My car currently...

I've got a pretty mild 318 in my '73 Dart but I've still got the stock 8 1/4 3.21 geared open diff that came behind the /6 when it left the factory. The rear end has never been rebuilt and has about 250,000 miles on it. I'd like to rebuild it before I blow it up and I want to go with a 3.55 or...

Lately when I take the Dart out for a drive and park it it doesn't want to start when I get back in. The fuel filter will be full of gas when I park it but when I come back it'll be empty and when the car is running it doesn't always fill up the fuel filter. Could it be an air leak in the system...

This past weekend I got the 225 out of the dart and there's a 318 happily running in the dart now, which is great. However I can't find a power steering hose that will fit the pump on the 318 and the box on the dart. The Dart is a 73 model but originally came with manual steering so the box...

I bought a complete 1968 318/727 setup and I'm sticking with a manual trans so I don't need the 727. I've got all the stuff with it from the flex plate and converter to the yoke and I don't need any of it, I just need money for my engine swap. I've got a lot of stuff that came off the motor and...

I pulled the 225 and A230 out of my dart today. Once the engine bay is painted I'll drop in the 318 and A230. Do I need to change out the clutch fork and Z bar to work with the dual pattern bellhousing or will it all bolt right up? I don't want to run into problems when I go to install it. I...

Hey guys I've been looking around for a rear end to replace the 7 1/4 that i've got in the Dart. It was fine behind the slant but I don't think it will last very long behind the 318 that I'm dropping in. An 8 3/4 is just too expensive for me and I can't find an 8 1/4 around here. Are there any...

Time... FOR MY ENGINE SWAP!!!! The slant is coming out of my Dart in a few weeks and I'm ordering a bunch of my swap parts tomorrow so I can drop my 318 in. I'm ordering schumacher mounts, an electric fan setup to go on the aluminum radiator I have, a flywheel, clutch kit, front end kit from...

Swapping up from a slant 6 to a 318 in my Dart. I've heard that I need new torsion bars and I've also heard I don't. The car will just be street driven, not seeing any strip time. What do I really need? This is how the car sits with the /6.

Does anybody make reasonably priced 3" exhaust cutouts?! I know there are manual ones but I've heard bad things about them. Electric seems to be where it's at. The other day I heard a 572 Hemi with cutouts and it was freakin SWEET. Do any of you guys run cutouts? and if so, what do you think...

Alright guys I'll try to keep this as short as I can as I tend to get super long winded. I'm trying to decide which clutch and flywheel to put in my Dart when I swap the engine. I need to get my 318 working with my 3 speed. What I need to know is how many splines do I have on my input shaft...

Hey guys, the time is nearing for the engine swap in my car and I have a few questions about swapping the 727 that was on the motor to the 3 speed manual that is currently in the car. I know that I need a bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and a pressure plate. I've also read that I need to drill...

I'm building a 318 for my Dart and I'm still undecided on what exhaust to run. It's 9.2:1 compression, getting a Comp 268H cam, Hooker Headers, Edelbrock Performer intake topped by a 600 CFM Edelbrock carb. It will be my toy in the summer. I want it to be loud with a deep exhaust tone, I thought...

Alright, I know nothing about transmissions. I have a slant six 1973 Dart Sport with the three speed on the floor and I'm getting ready to drop in a 318. Attached to the 318 is a 727 automatic but I really don't like automatics. for 41 years the car has had a manual trans and I would really like...

Hey guys, I have a Comp cam for my 318 and I need to know if it will work with my stock 2bbl carb. It's a 1968 230 horse 318 and the cam is a Comp Cams High Energy cam, it's the 268h. http://www.jegs.com/i/COMP-Cams/249/CL20-212-2/10002/-1?parentProductId= I will be doing a carb swap down...

Hello everyone, after about 3 years of lurking I've finally joined the website. I don't know why I've waited so long. I have been working on my Dart for the past few years now and you guys have helped me a lot along the way. Seeing as how this is an A-body place, here are some pictures of mine...
