    Cam advice for more torque from 340

    Yep, got it together. Ran well. Developed blue smoke on downhill deceleration. Decided to build a 440. Sold the 340. Dropped a 440 in. Just now finalizing that.

    [FOR SALE] 68 Dart GTS 340

    Back up for sale! I'm ready to drop the 440 in the Coronet so the 340 will be sold! The 340 is out of a 1968 Dart GTS. I'm not sure why it was in my Coronet as I wasn't the one who put it in. (Yes the GTS registry has been contacted) Date stamp: 6/22/67, N Casting Stamp: 2780930-340 EIN or...

    [FOR SALE] 68 Dart GTS 340

    I contacted the GTS registry and they said it was a GTS motor. I had to pull the numbers while the engine was in the car so once I get it out I will double check.

    [WANTED] Home for a 340

    So I’m selling my 340 that belongs in a 68 Dart GTS. Since it is homeless I'm thinking about dropping it into something that just needs an engine. Anyone got any ideas? I don’t need a project as I already have one. Just something close to done I can drop it in, drive for a little then sell.

    I'm finally building a 440 for the Coronet so the 340 will be sold! (or put into an A body and then sold!) The 340 is out of a 1968 Dart GTS. I'm not sure why it was in my Coronet as I wasn't the one who put it in. Date stamp: 6/22/67, N Casting Stamp: 2780930-340 EIN or VIN: 8B392511 Serial...

    Stroke old 340 or new crate engine

    You and my wife have something in common, you both know how to spend my money really well!

    Stroke old 340 or new crate engine

    Funny. I’m going through the same question in my head. Except my 340 is in a Coronet and I’m debating between stroking my 340 or building a 440. I have already purchased a 440 block but haven’t made up my mind yet.

    440 steel crank upgrade

    Are you still externally balanced or did you (can you even) concert the cast to internal balanced?

    440 steel crank upgrade

    Well I was more going for internally balanced bs external. Also, if I’m going to spend money on balancing and turning then it might as well be a forged crank. This is sort of what I was looking for I guess. $400-$500 roughly. I would spend $75 extra to get a forged crank assuming the cost for...

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    Sucks that your car burnt down. Was it the ammeter? I had mine start to melt one day. Smelled it first, luckily I was close to home.

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    OK, lets play detective. The smoking started only once I put the PCV system in. Had it been a bad hone job I would have seen evidence of this earlier. (I have owned the vehicle for over a year now and I drive it as much as I can). Another "clue" to think about. I had the carb "tuned" by a...

    440 steel crank upgrade

    I'm going to jump in here with another related question. I just bought a 440 with a cast crank and also want to change over to a forged one. Would it be better to go with an aftermarket, something like 440 Source, or find a forged on CL and have a machine shop work it over?

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    Two things. Can someone please explain to me how ring wash happens with an Eddy carb? Second, would anyone advise on trying out a can of Seafoam before I rip this thing out of the car? FBBO had a similar discussion going and someone suggested Seafoam first to see if it was "stuck rings".

    Will an LA-360 bolt in where a LA-340 was?

    Is this for your GTS? Dont tell me you are throwing a 360 in that.

    Will an LA-360 bolt in where a LA-340 was?

    Curious to know why you are going with a 360 instead of 340?

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    Ohh, I added it up. it equals, $$$$. Again, I could decided to stroke the 340. Go to something like a 416. Seems like those kits are $2500ish. Lots cheaper than 440 build. My refrigerator just died as well, so I might be sitting on this for a while.

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    Agreed it cheaper, but the amount of work is basically the same. Or at least that I can figure since I have never pulled an engine apart past the heads before. I was actually just researching crate engines looking for a 440.

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    Well, finally got time to take it to the mechanic. The rings are the culprit. I asked them to do a leak down test. Before that they decided to stick a borescope in the cylinders. They saw signs of ring wash. Combine that with the fact that it is hard to start when its warm and the shop was 99%...

    Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

    I thought I eliminated the smoke! Till I didn’t... I tightened the intake bolts to 30lbs. Took it out for a run, first time down a hill, NO SMOKE! Second time down a hill, smoke :( When I get to the bottom of the hill now I give the throttle a bump and it burps/clears the smoke out. Give it...
