    340 detective

    Hey guys. So I'm going to be doing a trans swap on my 340 dart once the weather warms enough to free my car trailer from the snow, but in the mean time I'm trying to nail down the specs on my engine. It is a 340 without a doubt but I can't be sure of the year. I can't tell what the number on the...

    Timing...what should I run

    Hey all. I'm going to re-time my 340 so I wanted to see what everyone thinks for timing. It is a 340 with 10.5-1 compression, J heads with 2.02s, 508 lift cam with 248 duration and 108 lsa. Intake is an M1 with a mighty demon 750 on top. 3.91 gears in the rear. What's everyone think for initial...

    Can you guess my cam?

    So I'm trying to hunt down the original builder of my engine to get the cam specs but in the meantime, I've uploaded a video of a 1k idle. Can any of you take a listen and see if you might recognize it. I know it's less than scientific but perhaps a couple of you may have a rough idea. Thanks...

    Built 340 problems...going nuts! Need Help!

    Hey guys, I'm starting to go nuts here. I have a 340 with J heads, M1 high rise, Mighty demon 750 (which I hate btw), and aggressive cam. I've had an issue getting consistent running with it. I can't seem to get the idle right. It will idle, then you drive it, and it won't return to idle, it...

    Oil leak

    I posted last week that I was getting a leak I thought was coming from either the rear main for the oil pan. After a little investigation I figured out there was too much oil in the engine. I drained it, and replaced the correct amount of oil. Within 12 hours it had dripped and within 24 hours...

    Oil pan or rear main?

    I've got an oil leak on my 340. It has a stock pan and was rebuilt within the past couple years. It leaks oil from the rear of the engine when it's just sitting there, even if it hasn't been run for days. Not a ton, but over a week of sitting it leaks enough to make me not want to drive it. I...

    Noise in my 340

    Coughing, backfiring ... *UPDATE*

    Ok so I have a 340 with an ultradyne cam, M1 intake and demon mighty demon carb. The car was running a bit rich, which I knew. It was tuned to run 100 octane. The previous owner didn't know that and was running 112. Just for the time being I was running 93 with booster and pulled some timing and...

    SERIOUSLY! #$%$ engine issue

    I just got my 340 into my dart sport and got it inspected. When I got home I thought I smelt oil, so I looked underneath and there was oil on my headers. I got it in the garage and opened the hood after I noticed oil dripping from several locations. There is oil everywhere! It looks like it hit...

    Oil color...normal or is something broken

    So I just pulled out my 340 to put it in my dart and when I drained the oil it looks dark green. The engine was rebuilt not that long ago, but not by me, so I don't know if it's some type of break in oil or what. It also has a gas smell to it. But I've never changed oil that doesn't smell at...

    318 to 340 swap

    I've read a couple little things here and there but never gotten a straight answer. I have a dart sport 318 and I want to drop in the 340 that I have. What all do I need to do to drop in the 340? I heard all I have to do is change the driver's side engine mount. Is this correct? And what's the...
