that might depend on what the 340 came out of.

lol

Befor this car turns into a dream with an inch of dust, just get the car back on the RD. Very few kids that are going to school have the mentality to handle such a larg project as well as complete school with good grades. Buy a running 360 and drop it in, don't start monkieing around with the...

I think I had something simular to that as well in my engine. I didn't think anything too much about it at the time because I thought it might normal;ly be like that. or maybe it was some weird mod you can do for something. Anyways if you would like me to pull my distributer I will check it...

Thanks Terry. after all the work I put into it, and all the help I got from you and other Mopar nuts on here, I would hate for something to have happend because of my stupidity. I will get that for sure. It was sure a crappy fealing when I opened my doors to my shop for the first time this...

I call them frost plugs, I didn't catch the freeze plug term. My collant mizture was prob about 10%-90%water....I know I know thats just stupid. I don't know the actual ratio, but thats what it looked like when I compared it to the florecent green look of other cars. This was a stupid...

I would think so, but It looks like ther was some form of adhesive put on the frost plugs when installed. I got the car un assembled, so I do not know what adhesive was used, but I would still think that it would pop out befor the block cracked reguardless of the type of adhesive. Phil

I have no clue. but it looked really week. For those who don't know I threw this car together relativly quickly last spring so that I had it for my wedding. Last summer was a blur. and we don't get minus 20 degree temperature normally. we are lucky to get -5. so I was just an idiot and...

I drove it from Maple ridge to Burnaby this morning. ( about 40KM) It seamed to be fine. It didn't have as much condensation coming out this morning. But it did have more coming out the drivers side exhaust as aposed to the passenger side. on a side note, I don;t see ANY coollant leaks or...

It was in an un-heated, un insulated shop seperated from the house. No difference in temperature. I am just hoping that I am over reacting. another freind of mine has a couple tools we can use to check for a crack. I will definatly let everyone know the outcome. I am glad everyone thinks...

I am really really really hoping that the car is all right. You guys think it will be, I know that the antifreez to water mixture wasn't good enough, and that the engine froze. I talked to my buddy who works at a parts shop ( and knows his stuff) and he said that it doesn't sound good so now I...

thanks for the reply guys. I know condensation is normal, But why would it come out more from one side than the other? And why would I find evidance of foam ( water and oil mixing) in the valve cover? If it is all just condensation that is GREAT! I have never pulled a valve cover off a car...

HI, I pulled my 440 duster out of the garage today. unfortunatly we had a really cold winter. (-15C) and my antifreez to water ratio wasn't too high. ( I thought it was better than that) I am concerned because I have lots of condensation coming out of the drivers side exhaust. I do have...

OK, I know now that gravety feed won't work. I am just trying to understand how it all works. it doesn't make sence. Phil

I am running a 1977 cougar for this years hit to pass race season. ( I wouldn't reck a dodge) anyways. this car has been sitting for years. I took the carb off and cleaned it all out and bought a rebuld kit for it. I then put it back on the car. when you push the throtle it squirts gass out...

wonder where the original poster went?

Just wondering. How often does an engine rebuild take place, and you have to do more than you intended, Or you SHOULD have done mor then one might intend. prob more often than not. Phil

Why rebuild the engine, and set the guy back $1500 + when he could buy a different Running engine in GOOD shape for $500? Thats not a good way to spend money on a budget. I agree, this shouldn't turn into another thread of what engine is better, I made one of those threads up because...

wow wow. I say back up. Knowone has asked the most basic question. How much is the engine guna cost? You might be able to buy a good runner that doesn't need a rebuild for the same amount. also, you say its going into a /6er, you know your guna need a tranny too, and exhaust, and mounts...

Don't really know what I want to do yet. Still havn't had any feadback on a supercharger set up like the articles I allready posted. Seems little arguments happen where ever I am. Good to see I'm not in this one I guess. Obviously things can be done differently, that is why I am asking...

here is the article. http://hotrod.automotive.com/78176/hrdp-0709-1993-ford-mustang/index.html Phil

I won't be doing anything locally except machine work. I'm from canada, and parts are expensive. Just researching, I'm not going to talk locally till I am ready. we are talking winter that I may be doing this...it isn't even fall yet! :) Phil

there is prob close to $500 of nickle and dime stuff in any major work on a vehicle. Phil

I'm just bumping this to this page, I find things get overlooked when they are the last post on the previouse page. Phil

now were talking. I am obviously going to be well over $2000 if I go with a stroker kit, or new heads, but I don't really want to do that if I don't have to. My 340 is out of a 72, so Ii don't think it has the high flow heads. the list you posted above is great, i don't like taking a block...

xe268..xe... I am asuming that it is a head of some kind

Someone asked what I was looking to spend. Ha good question. That is why I am saking opinions. I don't have any money right now, so the cheaper the better, but I will be saving over the next while, I would like to do it under $2000, but I don;t think that is doable. I like to ask, that...

You guys are getting into a debate about rollerrized cam, lifters, and I don't think thats in the budget. I'm kinda thinking of doing the 340. keeping the crank and rods. Heads seam expensive, but prob the best way to make some HP, instead of buying some aluminum heads, can I make my 1972...

thanks for the replies. I guess I should add. If I do the 340, it will go in my 340, But I also have a 1972 demon with a blown clutch that neeeds some work, So I would put the built 318, or 360 in there. Whatever I build, I will have a place for it. Thanks for the info so far, looking...
