Could you post more pics of the aluminum in the crossover port in the heads? I have never heard of this. I am building a 340 and would like to do it to my heads also. Cool build, the car looks good.
Love that heat riser trick.
Surprised to see you're going to use those cork intake gaskets.
Are you going to keep the AC setup with the 340?
Even up here in the great white north there are many summer days when it's just too hot to drive my dart. Or I have to go somewhere and I don't want to show up with a sweat-soaked shirt. So, for me, I would be keeping the AC. At least you'll be able to fund a bit of your build by selling the AC system.
Nice build. Can't wait to see what that 340 does power wise. We're putting a 340 in our Valiant. It's nice to see the different setups people have for these motors. We will be keeping the AC on ours. WAAAAY too hot in Texas.

Here are some more photos of the melted down piston in the crossover port. (...)
If you don't mind my asking, how did you block off the port so you didn't fill the whole thing with aluminum? Did you use some sort of putty, clay or plaster?
edit: Oh, never mind. Now I get it. You poured from the exhaust side. Sorry.
