    Good forum for Dodge D/W trucks?

    Got nothing to add. Everyone made great suggestions, just thought I'd add another Dodge.

    Rewiring my 64 D100 what ignition?

    Great choice. I’ve been using a Skip White HEI distributor for 5 years on my 71 D100 340 with no problems.

    Shout out to Howard’s Cams

    I used the same lifters with one of their cams in a stock 340 a little over 2 years ago. I didn't disassemble the lifters. The engine was running great before the change so I made sure everything went back together exactly the same. Break-in went smoothly and I have since put on about 5,000...

    Speedmaster, Edelbrock, ProMax head question for you guys

    I’ll throw my hat into the ring. I would pick liberty because of the low lift numbers are better.

    360 LA installing Promaxx Aluminum heads

    Not sure. Didn't ask and don't have the tools to measure. When I get it I'll try to remember to take a pick with the adjuster in the cup.

    360 LA installing Promaxx Aluminum heads

    I used a Trickflow length checker. I called Trickflow and the measurement is from the ball tip to the inside base of the cup. I ended up with 7.100. Ordered pushrods from Smith Bros and I'm getting oil through pushrods. They are sending me 1 so I can check my measurements just incase I measured...

    205 transfer case guru's needed....

    I would be leaned toward the solid mount causing the noise. I’m running a 203/205 married setup in my truck with no transfer case noise. I do have rubber mounts. I’m praying for you that’s it’s not the case itself. That sumbitch is heavy.

    Factory rocker defeated by pushrod.

    Just want to give a shout out to Rocket and Kendog for helping me out behind the scenes with parts for my truck. They went above and beyond to get me back on the road. Thanks to everyone else for the input and support. FABO is a great community to be apart of.

    [WANTED] Adjustable sb rockers

    I have a 68 340 with a broken stock rocker. Looking for an adjustable rocker setup to replace the stock stamped rockers. Thanks for the help.

    Factory rocker defeated by pushrod.

    I've only had the engine for about 6 months. No telling how the previous owner drove it. No one carries rockers in my state. Summit wants @ $20 to Ship 1 rocker. I'm going to post a wanted ad for the parts needed. Looking into the future I want to run adjustable rockers with a solid cam. For now...

    Factory rocker defeated by pushrod.

    Thanks for the info and the warning. Need to get the truck running and don't have easy access to parts here in Hawaii. The Mancini rockers are $119 for the rockers alone. I guess my saving grace is that it's a truck that doesn't see north of 3000. No race tracks on Oahu.

    Factory rocker defeated by pushrod.

    The aftermath of freeway speeds on a 68 340 with original rockers. The engine is in a 71 Sweptline. The springs are setup for a purple 484 cam. The cam is now a Howards 710931-12 with the 484 springs. Planning on replacement rockers from Mancini. Would like adjustable rockers but money is an...

    Low oil pressure on new engine solved

    I used Speedhut for my Sweptline. Great products with easy to understand instructions.

    Cam for 69 gts. Recommendations so far.

    I will throw my hat in the ring for the Howards cam. My thought is you shouldn't have a problem with the valve guides with its advertised lift. Also, I just installed a Howards 710931-12 in a 68 340. Everything went smoothly and it worked out great for my application.

    Thumbs up to Howard's cams

    Two months ago I ordered a Howards 710931-12 set for a 68 340 in my 71 Sweptline. They had it in stock and I had it within a week. Install and break in went smoothly. Very happy with their service and products.

    Lifters

    About a month ago I installed Howard's hft cam and lifters into a 68 340. Everything went smoothly with no problems. The lifters that came with it looked exactly like another set of regular Melling lifters that I have stashed.

    Since Strokers are the topic......

    I used the Northwest Fab setup so I wouldn't have to machine the 205 case for a larger input shaft. I than used JB Custom shifter assembly.

    Since Strokers are the topic......

    For my 71 Sweptline I combined the 203 and 205. You get the 205 strength with a 203 gear reduction. The three transfer case levers will confuse any possible thief’s.

    Speedmaster sale. It started

    They want $180 in shipping for an intake manifold and 1 set of valve covers. No free shipping to Hawaii. Last year my order had free shipping but that ship has sailed. Hawaii is back to international/non-American status.

    GPS speedometer

    I’m running Speedhut gauges on my Sweptline. The installation was straight forward with good instructions. The gps Speedo uses a bottle cap size mag mount pickup that I put on the dash under the windshield.

    340 engine worth?

    I just bought a running 68 340 for $750. People in Hawaii are only interested in Chevys and Fords.
