Hi everybody: I never drive my car in this kind of heat, probably 95' F but I was coming home from the shop. Things were okay going along at high 180s until I got stuck at a light the last mile from home when it got up to 220. I was lucky though to pull over and shut down in another trailer...

Hi everybody: Now that I have over 300 miles on this 340 I'm getting to feel that there might be a problem like I thought. I got my friend to drive it also and he thinks the same thing. It should go WAY better than it does especially in the burn out awards. It hardly breaks the wheels lose :(...

Hi everybody: We just built a 70 340 and after it's all warmed up and going down the road oil pressure is almost 60. When I come to a red light and it's at an idle 800-900 rpm it's around 30. Is 30 good enough?

Hi everybody: Just had a 340 built. It has this comp cam in it with stock rocker arms. After about 3000 rpm you can start to hear the lifters making some noise. Not that bad though. It does have 10-30 oil in it. Kind of thin? That's what he said to use to break it in. High zinc conventional...

Hi everybody: I was going to wait and show you the whole deal with a little youtube video of it in the Dart a 69 with it running but if you can make out that turquoise Fairlane it was suppose to have been picked up about two weeks ago. There are about four cars in the shop right now and we...

Hi everybody: I was wondering if I could get some opinions on Mopar's stock rockers for a 340 with a little over 400 hp. I guess they're reliable because I've a ton of engines using them.

Hi everybody: I'm going to order these con rods for my 70 340. What we're doing to it it will probably have a little more than 400 hp. What do you think about these? Scat Pro Comp I-Beam Connecting Rods 2-ICR6123-2124

Hi everybody: Yes my 340 is finally getting built but we ran into a problem two of the rods are no good. We also found out that these rods that were sent with the motor were not it's to begin with. The block and crank are in great shape so I was looking at these. Scat Pro Comp I-Beam...

Hi everybody: I sure seem to be the person with the question don't I but better safe than sorry. Do you think it's safe to get this stuff from these places? My main concern is that it's not cheap junk. One of the guys at one of the engine rebuilders said I could use the rocker shaft off of my...

Hi everybody: I'm asking a lot of questions these past few days..Has anyone used one of these manifolds. I happen to have one and I'm thinking about using it on a 340. Edelbrock Torker II Intake Manifolds 5076

Hi everybody: I was just wondering if it matters much if you have a baffled oil pan or not and are these after market ones as good as the factory ones. Some of them are pretty cheap price wise. I don't really want to take the pan off of the old 318 and use it for the 340 witch doesn't have...

Hi everybody: What combustion chamber size should a guy order 63 or 65 cc. I want 400-450 hp with promaxx heads and new 340

Hi everybody: I just stumbled across this video and since I was going to get a roller cam for my 340 I was wondering if any of you have run into this problem and would it be better just to stick with a ordinary hydraulic lifter cam

Hi everybody: I'm not too educated about 340s and valley trays weather they have them or not. Are they really that important? Mine is a 70 340 waiting to be rebuilt but isn't here right now and I've seen 318s being taken about without any valley tray so you can see why I'm curious. Thanks.

Hi everybody: I kind of like these Milodon valve covers and was wonder if anyone else had a set. Also I've heard pros and cons about the aluminum ones. I like the steel ones but what do you guys think?

Hi everybody: When I get this 70 340 rebuilt to around 350 - 370 hp I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use the stock rods. They all look excellent as does the block and crank.

Hi everybody: I was just wondering if there is a risk of any kind with putting tall valve covers on a set of heads that don't need them. I guess with the low profile ones they would be bathed in more oil...Is that right? Just about everyone around these parts have those black Mopar...

Hi everybody: I was just wondering if anyone has tried a set of these. Mopar Madness has them up all the time. Mopar SB Heads 360 Early 2 02 1 60 Port and Polishd Dodg 340 360 318 Repl | eBay

Hi everybody :glasses7: Well I'm sure no expert but this guy sounds like he knows what he's taking about. I'm shocked! I realize this is a long video but for people who know a little but aren't mechanics like myself and are maybe considering buying a set of these you should watch this...

Hi everybody: I bet this question has been asked many times. What are the best oils for the older style V8 engines like we are using? I've even read in an article that a Shell Diesel oil called Rotella T1 is good. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/flat_tappet_cam_tech/viewall.html

Hi everybody. If anyone remembers me you might wonder..Why does this guy keep asking questions but nothing seems to get down. Well a while back I decided I better start saving up to build a garage and this has been going on for quite some time. Finally it looks like she'll be going up in two...

Hi everybody. A friend of mine was at a speed shop and I told him to ask the mechanic there how much to rebuild a 340. I told my friend to tell the mechanic I wanted 420 - 450 hp. My friend phoned me back and said the mechanic said that it's hard to get over 400 hp out of a 340 without a...

Hi everybody. I haven't been around for ages. I finally found a good 1970 340 block. I don't have any X heads but I do have a nice set of J heads. If I take them in and get them ported and 2.02s put in will they give the engine the same umph the X heads would have? Thanks.

How do older 360 J heads work on a 340 if the heads are ground out to early 340 J head specs? Are they the same head then?

I should have bought the magazine. I didn't know you could even get new ones. I think they were about $950 with the valves in 2.02 and 1.60. I can't remember the place though.

Hello again guys. I was just wondering is it ok to put a set of X Heads on a 1972 340. I know this is the year they started to go down hill but I think we can go back up the hill easily with good heads and higher comp pistons right?

Hi guys I was wondering what the last over size pistons were that you could get for a 340. Is it 60 over? Will it still run cool with that much gone or is that hardly anything? I'm not to bright about these things :read2:

Hi guys I have a 360 so I may put it in my 69 Dart. I was wondering if there would be any trouble with the newer power steering pump on the 360. Will everything still fit in the car. I could get a manual steering box and an adaptor that would solve any problems right away. There's also...

Hi everyone. Has anyone ever put a 360 in a 67 68 or 69 Dart? Besides the motor mounts, torque converter and flex plate too I think what else is there? This is changing from a 318 with a 904. Thanks
