    Connecting rods

    I'm in the process of purchasing some bottom end parts for a 340 rebuild. What are your thought on scat I beam rods weighing in at 595 grams? They're forged 4340 and new. Running just above the $300. Good investment? Cruiser/ weekend strip

    What are the 340 weaknesses?

    As of now I plan to ride it till late summer then send it off for paint and work on the 340 in the garage. It's an original 340 from a 68' barricuda. It has good compression in all cylinders and head gaskets appear to be good. Aside from valve seats anything else? If anyone would like to throw...

    No start.

    I have a1971 Plymouth duster 340. I had it running a few months back. It was then sitting for a good 4 months till I attempted to turn it over. For some reason my brother took the battery(new) from it and threw it into his car. I had a spare Delco which was from a 99 Cadillac STS. As I attempted...

    Wrong cam/converter combination on the 340

    I have a stock 68' 340 motor on my 1971 duster. It was basically handed down to me by my brother. He had some mopar purple cam and single plane intake before. I wanted good street manners along with power from idle to 5500rpm. I've since installed a dual plane edelbrock intake manifold 620cfm...

    Timing for 340.

    Upon replacing all freeze plugs on the 340 motor, i've come across the motor with no timing tab on it. The motor is a 68' 340 and I've come as close to have it run, but it boggs on high RPM(4k-5krpm). Anyone know where I'm suppose to mount the timing tab and the correct timing setting? Thanks in...

    I could use some help right about now.

    I can't seem to find motor mounts that fit my application. I went through many parts distribution center through my friends shop and always gettting something which dosent match. It's a 1971 duster with a 340 engine from a 68' barricuda. The mount is so flat that the driver side header is...

    What MPG are you 340 guys getting?

    I'm seeing whether my 340 duster would get some decent mpg since it's coming along together. Nothing crazy, other than a stock 68' 340 with edelbrock performer intake/600 carb, rebuilt 904 transmission. I honestly forgot the gearing in the rearend, but its in the vicinity of 3:4's. Since it is a...

    Any recommendation for ignition coil?

    71' 340. I converted to electronic ignition distributor and need a coil to go along with it. Parts store has "Duralast" and "Gold" but I don't think i want to trust it and I believe its made for points type distributors. They also mentioned if it had a D shaped Terminal? What exactly is...
