    340 camshaft break-in. Well.....almost

    Tried to get the 340 engine camshaft broken in yesterday but no dice. As you see in the video, our final conclusion was a bad fuel pump. Won’t have a new one until tomorrow. Thing that sucks is this was a brand new stock Carter fuel pump. Sucker was bone dry when I pulled it out. I believe the...

    I have checked, double checked, sextuplet checked the rockerarm geometry on my 340 with 360 j-heads. Pushrod clearance was done, valve stem wipe pattern is perfect, spring retainer clearance is fine, pushrod-rocker adjusting screw geometry is fine..........everything is perfect except I do not...

    Decided to go roller

    Called up Hughes Engines today and pulled the trigger to convert my motor to a roller. Here's the cam recommended to me for my needs. They are custom grinding their HER2228ALN cam for my carbed motor so the details changed a bit. Went with their retro fit roller lifter which means no work to be...

    Roller Lifters vs. Schubeck style lifters

    I've got a few questions and would like some opinions from those who may have experience with either option. I'm at a point in my restoration where I can easily swap a cam, lifters, rockers etc. I'm running a 340 with a hydraulic Comp 292 cam with stamped rockers. 10.1 compression ported...

    The dreaded Valve Tick

    I just got my 340 cranked up again last week after it sat for two years while doing paint and body. It seems to run really well in the driveway. It is just that I get a valve tick after reving the engine a few times. Mostly happens after the car has warmed up some. It's mostly on the passenger...

    340 is knocking

    :pale: The 340 I just installed recently is tapping on the passenger side much louder than I would like to hear. I still knock at operating temperature and with a stethoscope I can hear ticking throughout with valve cover on. I can't pinpoint it. I thought it was normal in the begining...

    Opinions: Cam Swap or not

    First off I have never run this engine before and have never had a car with this much power before. I think it is currently more geared towards racing but it could be a streetable car with everything I have setup right now to avoid detonation issues. I've heard this cam is a slug until 3000 rpm...

    port matching the intake manifold?

    Sorry if this is a lame question. I searched the site before posting. I have a set of fully ported 340 J heads. There is a 3mm difference between the cylinder head ports (25mm wide) and the intake manifold ports (22mm). The heads look like they are gasket matched. I'm wondering if I should...

    Was wondering if this is the same 90* oil filter adapter that is needed for the future tti header placement on my 66 valiant with a 340. This is a picture of the 66' 273 oil filter that is cast iron. They have the MP one that is $130 bucks for aluminum :wack: . Would like to pillage the one...
