Great old thread thanks for resurrecting it. I love old Black magic or Mr ugly:thankyou:

Could it be running from the back of the intake manifold down the bell housing ?

I'm just anxious after all your hard work to see you give that thing a good flogging six pack style!

Yep.

I would think you'd want to see how it runs first.

just when you thought you'd seen it all...hell I'll take two.

I think it depends on the car a little some mopars came out of the gate looking good and sassy others need a little more help to bring out their spirit. All need upgrades to motor, exhaust and chassis so they can live up to the legend .

I'm definitely not a holly expert, I ran Carter's for 30 years but have been running Holleys for the last few I would be looking at the primary circuit and accelerator pump possibly. Good luck

It's all pretty doable with decent mechanical abilities until you get to the body and paint :realcrazy:$$$ I paid $1,200 for my 340 Swinger in march of 1978 all original pretty much the way you see it now minus the new paint job, and interior and motor upgrades .LOL

It just take so much time, I have other things that need to be tended to and my energy just isn't what it used to be. I don't want to come home at 5:00 and work on my car till 9:00 or 10:00 it's more like a few hours maybe on the weekend. For those reasons I could never start with a basket case...

Yes this would be for a stroker, I really see no advantage of a dual plane with a 4-in arm there's gobs of torque below 3,500 RPMs and and I personally would not run a dual plane on a stroker.

Yeah I run an m1 for many many years and is one of my personal favorites the only thing I was considering is the square bore flange. But $250 for a new m1 is a killer deal no getting away from that.

So I have a chance to buy a weiand xccelerator in good condition it is 225.00 what do you think. I feel it would make a really good stroker intake.?

Wow, it sounds like an awesome setup and please keep us informed of progress.

So what is the end goal for this motor what will be you using it for, It seems that price is no concern.

Yes I was excited it's the first good car show in a while. I was really into the moment! also I'm definitely not a phone guy missing calls gets me in trouble at work and home. lol.

So I went to the first car show of the season last weekend Corvallis Oregon, really nice turnout beautiful sunny day 68°. Got there a little late there was a great variety of cars from old Mercury's Camaros Chevrolets Buicks, rat rods just a really nice turnout 120 cars. But as I left a few...

Son of a b****! Wrench flyer:BangHead:

Well that sucks! I was hoping they would get that hammered out and make a satisfied customer out of you.:soapbox:

That's a lot of cam for a 340 I love it! That sticks nastier and a two-headed dong :eek:

I've never ran a Howard cam but I would not hesitate, they have some really nice grinds and have never heard anything negative about the quality of their cores.

Yes I have to agree, I thought about that combination in an a body before but in my opinion just a nice built 340 400 horse with 400 foot pounds of torque normally aspirated is a much better match.. and the sound well that goes without saying.

One more great option you can have it polished.it's much easier to clean and with a little aluminum polish and elbow grease , sexy.

Here's my 40-year-old manifold, I just use brake cleaner and a clean wire brush and rags. I think the secret is to never let it get too dirty.

That was my very first 340 high-rise in its square bore configuration.combined with an AFB competition series 750. I think it was Weiand answer to edelbrock's LD 340 that thing would flat move some air.

Okay maybe I'm missing something, wouldn't be the first time LOL but this took me about 5 minutes to find these two and there's plenty more where that came from.

It is obvious that the small block six pack parts have gotten out of hand in price. But they are extremely rare in comparison to B or RB manifolds which I believe are both still being cast by Edelbrock and are readily available.

I think my 340 swinger has my muscle car covered, mine would be a second generation viper. Or maybe 73 slapstick small block cuda

all the right side mirror does is let you see the next piece of Japanese crap that's going to cut in front of you at the light. Besides that the only time I miss it is parallel parking it's much harder to judge where the curb is to keep from scuffing your tires.

This thread has taken a strange tach !
