SS, the question was ask, and maybe answered, but i didn't see it. What's the dollar figure on a piece of work like you've had done on that head? If ya dont mind tellin. I've done some of my own but they dont look like that...... yet? By the way, i did learn domething from this thread on my next...

Either they were in a hurry or they dont have a clue. I got it. They let a trainee do the work while the boss went on vacation or to the bar. Glad ya found it now. Not to make ya worry but, what else aint right? Small Block

No mention of matching the ports. If nothing else use the gaskets you plan on installing and place em with the bolts stabbed and take out the gasket to the ports on one side, then place em on the intake. Compare the two against each other. Many times the port from the intake to the head are not...

Hey Plot. Take it apart as far as you can yourself. Soak the cylinders as mentioned above. Dont get in any big hurry. Give it some time. Dont worry about trying to save the pistons, just try and not do any more major damage to the cylinders than is already done. Get it tore down and take it to...

Good post guys. Stroker, you have some valid points there. First things first. Dont go off the deep end and get in no hurry. There are definatly those that will be more than glad to take your money and give you less than you bargained for. Let me ask, are there any Mopar clubs in your area...

Dale, who built the motor? I had an issue of this sort and after tearing it down we found the valve guides were never replaced. They had been knerled. You could scrape the oil deposits off the top of the piston with a putty knife. Yes it did smoke. Small Block

First off, Good to hear from ya Prine. Second, Eighty Five Hundred Dollars? WOW !! I know things are higher in the big metropolitan areas but for that money? Stock heads with the intake your using with the carb combo? Dont think you are using all the fuel that the carb can supply. Compression...

Read it all....and if you are dead sure the plug wires ran to the correct hole and came from the correct location on the distributor...then i'm dissapointed that we haven't figured it out. TDC #1, Rotor bug points to #1. Place that wire there. Get the book and look at where the next one is and...

Pay attention here now guys. If you will notice Bullitin # 1575 was dated on 9-6-68 relating to the factory color change for these cars and trucks. Now if this bullitin hit the plant in late 68 then as usual, it will take, at minimum, a month for this to be all sorted out and get into the mill...

Yes sir. Junk trhe heads. I'm giving $50 for junk 340 heads these days. Get you some really good aluminum heads for that motor. Tell me when you want my address and i'll need an address where to send the $50 and of course the shipping. Small Block

Hey Brian: Drop your gas tank and take out the float mechanism and you will find a sock on the bottom of the pickup tube. Big chance there is a blockage there. You can do it. Need any info just sing out. If the sock filter is plugged , cut it off, then at a couple of locations along the routing...

Just a thought. Check your lower rad hose and look for a colapsed section that might restrict water flow. Make sure that hose has one of those long springs in it. They keep it formed to an open condition. Your rad will produce a small amount of pressure in a normal situation. Sounds like you may...

NewToMopar: Man you hit the nail on the head. I stay confused....LOL!! Small Block

Very interesting to say the least. I had a 318 built by a local engine shop and i wanted some horse power. Not a guru myself but i like to dabble in this engine stuff i took the heads home and started to gasket match and port the J's that i had fitted with 2.02 valve. I got em done, didn't flow...

Do you mean the stated "375" horse power?

Cracked is on to it. Do the welding the nut on trick and bounce it with a hammer a lick or two.

....but here is what the book says: To check timing chain slack, place a scale next to the timing chain to detect any movement in the chain. Place a torque wrench and socket on the camshaft sprocket attaching bolt. Apply 30 ft lbs{cylinder heads installed} or 15 ft lbs(cylinder heads...

.....slack? How much is acceptable. 440 motor. Not a big horse motor. Just a driver. It looks like the slack may be about 1/2" or maybe a little more. Is this acceptable or should it be changed out. I've got a new kit coming but if this is within spec i'll shelve the new kit for later. Your...

I'd dismiss the compression theory, but i would consider the ability to get good spark to the engine and possibly give that carb a good bebuild or play a little shot put with the neighbor kids. It maybe something as simple as a ground issue or a faulty regulator or alternator. How about a vacumn...

Maybe some trash in the fuel filter? Check any and all of em. There's a small one on the end of the fuel pickup inside the tank. PO may have stuck some in the line between the tank and the motor. I do. Also maybe starving the carb. Not a genius but it has to have fuel. Some smart people will...

Hey T5: In the last picture the part he is showing you is the 3 prong plug that is screwed into the tranny, not the metal looking piece. His arrow should have ran on over to the 3 prong thing. That metal piece is linkage. Good luck and keep firin the questions. These guys are the best in the...

Like Fishy said. Really low for a Hv pump. My 72 318 runs cold in the 75 to 80 range and hot lowest at 40 lbs. The filter i use on the 318 is a Fram PH43. Not a mechanic but i would definitley shut it down till resolved. I'll be watching and learning. Keep us posted. Good luck.

It's all right where the boys are talking about. Read and pay attention. Good luck. Been there.

Does your set of heads have the heat cross over ports? Post a pic if you can. Thanks. I may by em from ya if i like what i see.

Checked over on BBD and searched the archives and found much discussion on this very subject and after reading i'm considering doing a stroked 440 up in the 5-6 hundred range. No substitute for horse power and cubes. Give me your opinions please.

It's going in a 67 Valiant 100 2 dr post. The 170 is coming out. Not a whole lot of street use. No back seat and will probably do some buckets in front.

Use a piece of key stock and grab it with a large pair of vice grips. Key stock is hard.

Can't wait to get started. I've got the 400 block and a 440 crank and a new set of headers an intake and i'm ready for some details. Tell me about your cam choice and other little details so i can continue gathering parts. Heads will be 906 cast with my port and polish job. I'll start tearing...

Wheres the leak coming from? Can you see where it's running out at? Drivers side or pass. side? Front or back? High or low. Been down this road and it aint fun. Let us know.

I'll look on the magazine rack at Wally World and see if it's on there still. Sounds good.
