    Think I May Have Found Out Why My 340 Seemed to Idle Rough...

    I've seen them vibrate like a 50 year old Maytag!

    Think I May Have Found Out Why My 340 Seemed to Idle Rough...

    In my opinion, it would have caused the engine to vibrate at all speeds, not just idle. Bolt the new one onto the factory flex plate or a new one designed for neutral balance and it will be a lot better.

    Mexican Mopar 360: i need to know how to have more horsepowers

    Where do you drive that you need to go that fast anyway? The first thing i would do is to make sure the car is safe enough to go that speed. This means tires, brakes, suspension, steering, and most importantly, body structure. It looks to me as that the car is rusty, therefore weak, and...

    Beginners,doing multiple modifications at once......

    One day at a time, one modification at a time, and most importantly, don't set deadlines. And yes, i've done them all and learned from it.

    To retorque or not to retorque? That is the question.

    If you follow the manufacturer's directions, you shouldn't go wrong. There's no harm in retorqueing them after they are heat cycled and cold again. It's good peace of mind. The factory didn't retorque them, that's food for thought.

    484 purple cam..JUNK

    I have that cam in my low comp 360 in my Dart Sport which is stock other than the cam, weiand dual plane intake, and a 600 edelbrock avs carb. Everything else is stock including exhaust and it runs well and is very driveable with 3:55 gears and a 4 speed. The initial timing is set as high as the...

    Duster Engine Swap

    To simplify things, mopar engines belong in mopars. If you want a chev engine, get a G.M. vehicle to put it in. It's not worth the hassle to convert. Period. Don't bastardize vehicles, you will regret it and everyone will hate you for it. Now get yourself a Nova and build a screamin' sbc for it...

    Duster Engine Swap

    Welcome to FABO, Cowboy. There has been some heated discussions on this subject here. I guess you know by now that this is a Mopar a-body site, and everyone will roast you for such a suggestion. I don't agree with transplanting chev engines into mopars or visa-versa. I really don't see the...

    318 heads. whats your route??

    What's so wrong with 318's? If you aren't trying to be Larry Morgan, they are a very good choice for a mild fun street car. As for no power potential, if you build them right, they are a lot of fun. I've beaten 340's and 360's with mine because of they were overcammed,overcarbureted,and...

    new engine combo

    Well........ The 4:10 ratio would be my choice, Bar. And the cal-tracs are good too. My guess is high 10's because you lightened up the car and made it a lot stiffer. That's if you can get the traction. The cal-tracs will help it a lot. I'm an old school guy that has used SS springs and a pinion...

    318 timing

    I've always done this! make sure youv'e got good gas,mid gr. to premium,advance till it pings, back off timing 2-4 degrees,it should be ok. always run good gas and don't try to tune it with old gas, even when you play with your jetting or advance curve, it must not ping! don't rely on the timing...

    Just phone comp cams tech line or any other reputable cam manufacturer, they will help you out better than someone who hasn't done the research that they have. They have spent MILLION$$$$ on it! That's what I would do! Tom
