Homemade 340 ###

[SS Lancer]

Well a member and machine shop owner and operator finished up on another engine project
For me last week . I basically used misc nos parts to piece it together.
73 (360) block 40 over
Std bore (Lite weight) Trw domes
H beam 6.123 rods
68 (340) crank std-std
This is an unorthodox build by todays standards but ###
Different strokes for different folks !!!!

Did you space the crank main bores for 340 size? I got a 360 crank turned down to 340 mains, need to know options.

What did you paint the inside of the block with?

If it’s not had the core plugs installed yet, get us a picture between two cylinders if you’re able and don’t care to. There’s usually .080 or less between cylinders in those early 360s.

First time For me seeing crank spacers used…lots of guys talk about doing it …but likely bail due to the expense

Aren’t the rear seals also different between 340/360?

Glyptal?

Glyptal?

Glyptal has always been dark blood red, in my experience. But who knows, they might have changed in the last twenty years since I used it.....

Very cool work! I'm trying to figure out why you would do it, but, impressive.
