I 100% agree with boosting the current motor. I blew up 4 junkyard 5.3s figuring everything out. Granted it was all because of a certain coil type causing predetonation, however it would have really sucked to have scattered all the good parts. Also agreeing with TT5.9mag, you may not care for...

Alright thanks! Yes Wild, a buddy told me the same thing but he was unaware if you could balance the flywheel without the crank. From what I have read as long as you have the blueprints which I have above you can do it. And thanks 340! 684 said he does have one in those pictures that is for an...

So I have a late 72 340 with a CAST crank and am converting it to a 4spd. From the people I have talked to it is almost impossible to find a factory 340 externally balanced flywheel just because they only made em for about a little over a year and Brewers wants $230 for one and money is tight...

If the timing is advanced to much wont that make it overheat too? Or is it only when retarded to much?

If you dont want to hot tank it that gunk works wonders. spray that on it and let it sit for a few hours then pressure wash it. Then i've always used dish soap and hot water and really scrub EVERYTHING blocking off ports into the motor of course. Also for the water jackets put a hose in the...

Alright will do. The high pressure kit right? not volume? er the high volume. And was your motor already in and all set as well?

moper, thats exactly what my uncle did, i saw him do it a few years ago. He got some kit, and put it all in the stock housing. Now its very possible that he messed something up because when i got it, i just put it in the car. Just dreading lifting the motor up to get the pan off.

I thought that when you drop the cam gear in the slot is suppose to point towards the #1 spark plug or intake port on the head? If i remember correctly thats what the HANES manual said to do when i rebuilt mine.

Alright, well i have a Hanes manual for the motor. I'll have to look through it and most likely it will have the steps to rebuild the pump then. Also will it hurt anything having such a high oil pressure?

Ok, so if i take that centerlink or k member? same thing? off then what do i do to the oil pump once i take it out or to know if the relief is stuck?

but mine idles at 75.. and as soon as i TOUCH the gas its pegged at 100. And if i just lift the motor up some can i get the oil pan off?

I thought it might be the gauge because its a manual that was installed years ago so i went and baught a brand new one from Bond Auto and put her in and had the same results... I did however use the same oil line but you can clearly see the oil move through it fine so i wasnt worried about it.

So this is an issue i still need to address from when i rebuilt my 340. When I got the car it had a recent piston ring job so I was told and when i ran it, there was no smoke or anything so I went about giving her some attitude. I put a big cam, long tube headers, high rise intake, 750 carb...

Do you have a voltmeter? If so get under the dash with a wiring diagram and see if you are getting 12v to the brake light switch also check to see if you are getting 12v to the plug on the steering column that goes to the blinker. The diagram if you have a HANES book will tell you which color...
