    When did Chrysler start stamp VINs on engine blocks?

    Thanks, found it. It’s poorly stamped. I think the last group of # is 82390

    When did Chrysler start stamp VINs on engine blocks?

    I have a 340 block dated 06-22-67, so that should make it date correct for a 68 vehicle. I can’t find a VIN on it or even a stamping pad for the VIN. Did they start stamping the VIN on the engine blocks at the start of production of the 68 models, or at some point after they had started...

    decoding ecu number

    I have an ecu that I'm having trouble figuring out what it's for. I think it might be for a 2004 Dodge Ram 5.7 Litre but I've haven't been able to confirm that. The p/n is P56029158AC . Is there any online lists that can be used for decoding?

    Break in time for new engine

    Has anyone had success using rare earth magnets on the oil filter or on the oil pan to trap metallic particles? You can also buy an oil filter magnet that covers the complete end of the oil filter.

    heads id

    I'm looking at a set of heads but I'm having a hard time IDing them. They are from a magnum SB, advertised as a 360. One head is 53006671 and the other is 53020466. Any help is appreciated.

    340 magnum roller conversion

    The motor has to be rebuild so it probably will need new pistons. The 360 heads were magnafluxed and they checked out. Are all aftermarket heads drilled to take magnum intake manifolds? I have a fairly new LA intake manifold that I would like to use but I can always sell it if I can't use it.

    340 magnum roller conversion

    Would different pistons help the clearance issue? I'm trying to figure out what route to take: to get the x heads rebuild with hardened seats (which sounds pricey) or buy after market heads or buy these 360 heads and modify them or change the pistons. If all 360 heads have clearance issues on...

    340 magnum roller conversion

    Thanks, does anyone have recommendations for a cam? I don't want anything too lumpy. The seller recommended a purple cam but he didn't say what model. The block is a 68. Are old unrebuilt 340 x heads worth anything?

    340 magnum roller conversion

    Further to this ... the guy selling it said that he couldn't use the cam that he had so that's why he's selling the heads. Does anyone see any driveablility problems using this on the street?

    340 magnum roller conversion

    Someone has a new 96-2002 magnum head conversion for sale, for small block Mopars 67 and up. The heads have been checked and rebuilt, and the guides cut for a larger lift cam and bee hive springs #250 seat pressure. It has Mopar performance conversion push rods and comp cams roller tipped...

    are any 340 and 360 parts interchangable?

    I bought an '318' engine some time ago from a guy who had it in his Roadrunner and was replacing it as it had an front end knock. I didn't care as I was just going to salvage some of the parts for my 340 (new water pump and timing chain cover) and then sell the block. When I was cleaning off all...

    Melling camshaft

    Thanks for all the help. It looks like I'll have to do a lot more research on cams. I might go to rollers but that'll be for a new thread once I get things figured out.

    Melling camshaft

    Are most makes of camshafts about the same? I am looking at a Melling cam but I haven't heard too much about them. They list a class I (200-215 duration) and a class II (215-230 duration), based on a .050 cam lift. The class I is refered as 'good idle' quality while the class II is a 'fair...
