It's been a slow day, so here's one for the FABO brain trust. I am finishing the build of my 408. I'm looking for recommendations for a spark plug for initial fire up. 408, TF heads and intake. Quick Fuel 750 mechanical secondaries, TTI headers. Forged Ocon pistons at a calculated 11.03-1...

I know there are 2 different types of Sure grips from the late '60's through the '70's. I'm not sure what I have, since I've never torn one down this far. Can the brain trust educate me with these photos or should I take some better ones. It's a 3.23 SG from a complete rear axle I picked up...

Here's one for the FABO brain trust. I've had my 1970 Swinger 340 for around 15 years, but just noticed these holes in the deck inner structure, but not through the trunk skin. Do all '70 Darts have them? Only Swingers? Or only Swinger 340's? I'm guessing they're for mounting the optional...

Many thanks to all over the years(!) for the help on my '70 Swinger 340. My 408 is in the end stages of construction, I have a Pat Blais built 727 with a freshly built FTI 3600 stall speed hard hit converter. Time now for the rear end. The stock open 3.23 8 3/4 will ned help for the mostly...

I'm sure this question has been beaten to death, but I couldn't find an answer. I'm finishing up my 408(big Voodoo solid roller, 11:00-1, TF heads and intake, TTI's, ect...). Pat Blais rebuilt my 727 before he retired, 8 3/4 3.91's, 28" tires. I know I need a good custom torque converter for...

Hello, all. I have a spare 8 3/4 complete rear end for my '70 Swinger 340. I'm building a stout 408 for her, and it's time to consider the rear assembly. I have a small yoke 741 with a 3.23 SG rear assembly. I have a couple of questions: Can I replace it with a 742 or 489 SG, or is this...

Hello to all. With the wealth of knowledge on this site, I have a shipping question. I have a bare set of 915 "Z" heads I'm donating to "Rumblefish", a long time member here whom I've come to meet last summer, and I've come to respect. He has a 1973 "Cuda 340, and I'm donating my heads to the...

I'm looking for a set of tail light lenses for my 1970 Swinger 340. Mine are sunbaked and cracked. Thanks to all.

I know the moderators here are working their butts off, but in my opinion, it's way too difficult to leave feedback with the current system. The "URL" thing is too complicated for us old analog people. I've had several positive transactions with members in the past few months, but haven't...

Let the slings and stones be tossed. I have a very original 1970 Swinger 340. I recently scored a complete A body 8 3/4 complete rear axle assembly with the 741 diff. It's dirty, but not rusty. My question to the gurus here is, what color was the rear axle assembly and diff ? Mine appears...

Now that the money is flying out of my wallet, I have a question for you distributor gurus. I've been buying and rat holing parts for a dozen years. I'm building a 408 stroker with TF 190 heads, a big Voodoo solid roller, and a TF single plane intake. I'm upgrading to the bigger 1 7/8's...

I'm building a 408 stroker with TF heads, and a big Voodoo cam, Solid Roller Cam. Excellent cam for street/strip ap- plications. Has good mid range and excellent uppper RPM, torque and HP. Works well in 346-360 c.i. motors. Needs 3200-3500 RPM stall converter or 4 speed transmission, headers...

I've read previous threads on the subject, but looking for fresh information. I'm building a 408 stroker, 10:1 Malhe pistons, Molnar forged crank, H beam rods, with a voodoo solid roller cam, 279/285@ .050, .585/.600 LSA/ICL 110/106. 727, 8 3/4 with 3.73 Auburn SG. Tires are stock size...

I'm rebuilding my 1970 Swinger 340. I'm looking to install a factory tach in my rallye dash as my car didn't come with one, without breaking the bank. I'm also looking to repair/replace my dash pad. Any help is greatly appreciated. Trying not to run afoul of the moderators. I know they're...

All right, gentlemen, after years of lurking, learning, and saving money, it's time to build my stroker. You serious guys like YR, Rumble, Crackedback and others, be gentle. Car is a numbers matching 1970 Swinger 340 with the build sheet and other factory documentation. I rebuilt the stock...

The new Mopar Action magazine has an article about the new Trick Flow Powerport 190 aluminum heads for small block Mopars. Is it true? I've been waiting for 9 months for these heads for my 408 stroker. Can anyone verify this? I'd love for Brian at IMM to be the first to prep a set for me...

Enough of lurking for years in the background, it's time to come out. I have a bone stock, numbers matching, perfect build sheet 1970 Swinger 340. I rebuilt the original motor, with Crane retro roller cam, and ported heads. I put all the rare parts back on, like the Exhaust manifolds...

scamp360 drove up about 40 miles today through Seattle traffic to inspect the oil plugs in my fresh 340. Kudos to him to help out someone he didn't even know. The plugs were all good, but ol' eagle eyes noticed I'm missing the bushing the oil pump intermediate shaft rides on in the block...

OK, guys, I'm putting my 340 back together, and I'm to the point of putting the oil pump on. One of my Mopar engine books talks about the oil pump gasket, but the other doesn't mention it. I got the full Fel-Pro gasket kit, but there doesn't seem to be anything close in it. What gives?

Here's one for you, boys! Before I fork out my hard earned cash, What is the stall speed of my 70 Dart Swinger 340<s bone stock 727?

New member here, looking for advice. I have a bone stock 340 Swinger, all numbers matching, apart for a rebuild at 113,000 miles. I found 2 broken rings that can be cleaned up with a .020 overbore. I'd like to keep the compression at around 10.5-11.0 to 1. Piston recommedations? The heads...
