72 340 Special

Thanks for the information and discussion guys, always learning. I found a new home for it, Hemiorangeswinger (Randy) is doing a major restoration on his 70 340 Swinger and will be using this manifold on his car so turned out perfect and he's local so I can just drive it over to him.

Hoping some members who know these part numbers a lot better then me can tell me what this manifold came off of, any help would be appreciated.

A little boring, going back to mostly stock but it’s all mine,

The Canadian 340 Swingers have VINS starting with LL23 because they were all built from Swinger Specials.

Just not sure how well it will work going back to a bit more restrictive setup, likely will give it a try, would just hate to have to pull the front of the engine apart to change it after a 3 year project if I'm not happy with it.

Sorry I haven't managed to get back on here for almost a week fellas but thanks for the input, I would rumblefish360 but I had the engine built back in the early 80's and he's a fair bit older then me and my memory isn't what it used to be so he probably would say who are you, lol. I'm...

I'm taking my 340 back to an original look for my restoration. When I had this engine built I relied on my machinist to give me a bit of a lumpy street cam that would work with headers and Torker manifold and aftermarket carb. I don't know the specs on this cam and if I'm going to change it...

Hey,Hey,Hey, late September! LOL!

They come out thru the large gap under the holes that the push rods come thru, you can get at all of them.

Inertia's right on, it couldn't be easier or quicker, a strong magnet and they pop out and back in and your done in 20 mins.

If you're using the correct orange trap door air cleaner it really stands out nicely against the blue engine and would be correct but what ever your choice post some pics of the way you go.

My early 80's time machine engine compartment, time to fire up my Flux Capacitor and take her back further in time to June 72. LOL

You might consider putting it in the lost and found forum if you don't think you'll fix it, might be someone's numbers block that they would make the investment to fix if it's repairable.

It feels great to get back that freshly machined block, now the fun really begins, good luck!

Not my 340, it my 383. Sikkens Basecoat Clearcoat, works like a charm, easy to make or match almost any colour you want and stands up nicely.
