This is what I love about this site- all kinds of info!

Thanks, Kuda. I know model year production wraps in June/July of the calendar year, then the next calendar year model production starts up in July/August.

Saw a picture of the side of a guy's 340 on another site, thought it looked very close, if not the same date, as my older 340 (I have two, the younger one is from '69). Went and snapped a shot to show him- mine is two months earlier exactly. His is 8/22/67, mine is 6/22/67 Both are pretty...

This has a 318 4-bbl, w/360 heads. But it is an M-body, not an A...

Idle-5500-warm street motor. The 308 casting heads (just before the Magnums, '88-'91 on 360 motors and the last of the M-body cop cars) would work perfect. Throw a 268 Xtreme Energe Comp Cam kit in it, Performer RPM intake, 600-650 CFM carb, headers and dual exhaust. Use a built 904 behind it...

Call Comp- talk to a tech guy named Chris Ryan or Aaron Mick...he'll walk you through and give you the right/best advice in regards to your combo and intent.

I use Remflex gaskets and Stage 8 header bolts. No leaks, not once

Warmed over performance engine, Fel-Pro should be fine. I run Cometic MLS head gaskets on my turbo (I've had a turbo Caravan, T-bird, and Spirit) and supercharged vehicles, ARP fasteners. My Buick L67 runs 4-layer MLS gaskets (compression upped .25-.5), ARP head studs. Supercharger is ported...

Yup- you'll want the '308' heads, which were for the roller cam'd 360 motors...

Pop in the Nippondenso 'mini' start if the starter is dying...they spin faster, lighter weight and less draw.

Should have a date along the side

Check them casting numbers...should be a roller motor, unless they just threw in any old 360

Can't really see any issue with your thoughts.

"Who is this heretic in our midst?"

I bought a complete '90 vintage 360 w/64K miles for $200 when United Way junked the van because it was old...nothing wrong with it, had plenty of life left in it. My buddy bought the trans for $85 and sold it for $450. What a waste- but profitable for me & Jason! Using the 360 in my '85 AHB Gran...

Sadly, in the barn about 10' from where the Scamp sits is a full W-2 340. Fresh, from the '70's. Guy owns a bunch of Formula S cars (SB & BB), a Dart convert, a mint '68 XR-7 Cougar, a beautiful Packard, a few vintage Benzs'...I'd ask about the motor, but it I'm scared to hear the price!

aengine- I have a '72 Scamp the same color combo. Have to admit, when the color is in good shape, it really does look really nice. Congrats!

NZ...New Zealand. Says "Aftermarket head" so God only knows. Could be a generic pic, could be something absolutely bizzarro (industrial/marine), whatever- it is in New Zealand, doubt anybody would want to put the effort in to sort this out. Scratch that, just noticed the original post. It's...

Haven't ever had a Lunati cam, but I have had a few experiences with Comp and have not one bad thing to say about them. Always talk to Arron Mick or Chris Ryan, their advice was spot on.

Duster- go to the Comp Cam website. They ask tire size, gearing, intended use, engine size, et cetera...all the important questions when spec'ing out a camshaft. The site will walk you through and then one of their tech guys e-mail you back with what cam grind would work best with your...

hmmm...yard near Portland that specializes in Mopar and charged you $600. Sounds like Wildcat, but I could be wrong-never went there because I heard too many stories and for what they charged I would scrounge and find much cheaper. I realize some don't have the option of hitting yards and having...

Stirring 'das sh@t pot,' dear Kimmer? Just joshing- 318 spools are different from the 340/360 spools, in the same regards to the biscuit style mounts

Nanaimo- I have actually been there. As well as Prince George, Kamloops and Prince Rupert...BC is really gorgeous, most folks never get out of Vancouver or Victoria, and they really should.

D-A-M...and I'm not talking about beavers. That is one crazy 273!

A non-magnum head, right? You have the X and J heads from the early-'70's or the '89-'92 360 heads with the last three casting numbers being 308. The X or J heads with the 2.02 valves are the factory ones everybody wants for working over (hogging out/porting) to get the maximum budget...

Interesting- just bought a complete '68 340 for $350...might make the Valiant scooot!

I agree with MOPE- a lot of today's little cars weigh quite a bit due to the content level in them. Then when you add on the drag of an AWD system when you talk Evo and STis' you have some room to wiggle in if you can hook up. I have a few friends with SRT-4's, Evo's, and STis'- they can be made...

lil red- where is Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles these days? Them and "The Red Green Show" were some of the best 'cultural' exports to come out of Canada in recent memory...I saw your avatar, had to comment.

I'll call you- I've got a stock 340 cam NIB (Mopar) in my shed I got from Stearns.
