I got my valve job done and did some measurements today. I’m going to have to cut the guides down to make proper clearance between keepers and seal. I want to do it myself rather than take it back to the machine shop. I know there are cutter’s available from cam companies and from Goodson. Is...

Curious what the welded strap/bracket on the transmission hump is there for.

Finishing up my A833 rebuild and need the speedometer number to clock the cable in the transmission. I have the Speedo in my hand but where do I look for the number. All I see right now are some partially rust obscured printing on the back of the face.

This post is for advice on whether to spend about $450 just to improve quench. I disassembled a 360 short block I built 30 plus years ago to clean it before finishing it and putting it in my 1970 Dart. I didn’t think of quench back then and put H405P flat pistons in it that are .050 in the hole...

I just noticed my 360 is not machined for ears. It’s an early block. Curious about when the seal was changed, or is it a 360 vs 340 difference?

I was mistaken about how the radio fit in the dash frame so I’m marking this sold since I don’t know how to delete it. I bought a Thumb Wheel Radio from a member on here thinking that were all the same. It’s too big for my 1970 with Rally dash. This box measures 9” wide by 2 5/8” tall. What I...

I bought a Thumb Wheel Radio recently from one of our members thinking they would all be the same size. The one I got is 9 inches wide by 2 5/8 inches tall. My dash opening in a 1970 Rally dash is only 7 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Does anyone know what the larger one fits, and what years has...

One of my fenders is original and seems to have a nut for the hood pin attached under fender. The other new fender has a dimple where the pin goes but that’s it. Was the nut welded to bottom of the fender. I dread it but looks like the fender will have to be removed to do it. Has anyone done...

The shop that did my body work seem to me to keep finding more to do before I bring the car home. I asked them to install the glass to keep it dry on the trip home. They say they have to install the dash first before the windshield. I need to do some work on the dash plus their work is extremely...

Shepherd says the mech pump will function as a pressure regulator. What’s the story on this?

I put my 360 together in the 1980’s with Mopar Performance cam, lifters and spring package. The engine sat on a stand without ever being started. I have disassembled it for cleaning and found some of the lifters stuck. They have been now soaking in parts cleaner for several weeks. Haven’t...

My local machinist is an old friend and has done good work for me; but, he nor no one around, seems to have a mopar small block torque plate. I am in Eastern KY but travel often to Columbus Ohio along US23 to see my grandchildren and also travel to Eastern TN a lot. Does anyone have a shop they...

What are they talking about when they describe the crank as internally balanced when they don’t know what pistons and rods will be used.

I have an Eddie air gap and want to put air in my 70 dart 340. The engine came with ac pulleys and I can get an original compressor or try the one that comes with the classic air kit. I hear there is an interference with the air gap. Is this with both original ac or the Sandin. If there is a...

I bought this block today. I thought before I put it in storage I would see if anyone had the matching car. If so a trade might be worked out. I just want to have a 340 to put the car back as original as possible for when I get tired playing with the 360. I’m looking for 0B141151

Without knowledge of this forum I have put pieces of information about my rebuild in other areas. I will try to limit a recap of previous posts and give the rest of the journey here. But first to recap: I owned a Rally Red Swinger 340 from new to about 1977. It was a street and strip car and my...

I’ve got a line on a complete ac unit locally from an acquaintances 1973 Dart parts car. I have seen in one place they are the same as 1970 until sometime in 1973. How much of it would fit my 1970? He also has a new in box Chrysler style compressor I might can get. I know the kits use a Sandon...

When I got my 1970 Dart it had the ugliest contraption on the ps pump. The lines went through fins to make what I assume is a cooler. Is this stock for a Swinger 340 car with ps? Is it needed?

I need a rally dash gauge cluster for a 1970 Dart Swinger 340. Doesn’t matter if the gauges work, Mine was hacked up by previous owner to install an eight track player and radio. If you have one to sell PM me with condition and asking price. Thanks

I was hunting for old brackets I took off this motor in 1988. It was in an original 340 car that I bought back then. Don’t suppose there is much interest in numbers on a 318 but I went ahead and snapped some photos While I was there.

I just realized while thinking of adding air to my 1970 Dart Swinger 340 build, (original motor not with car) that the 360 I’m building may have been from an air conditioned car. I took pictures of my crank pulley which appears to have three grooves. Does anyone know what belts the three grooves...

I am nearly ready for paint on a 1970 Swinger 340 4 speed original except block. It was a Go Mango color from factory. I think the new Go Mango may be a bit of a brighter color than original and like it but have nothing locally to look at for comparison. I don’t plan to sell it but am in my 70s...
