the way you 'notched' the k member for oil pan clearance is pretty much how i did mine on my 65 dart i put a 440 into. i figured i'd rather alter the k member than reduce oil pan capacity. neil.

i have the earlier 340 cam and as above the kb399 pistons. a weiand stealth intake (performer rpm from another mother, lol) and a holley 770 street avenger carb. i'll be making fenderwell headers too so they won't hurt either. neil.

i ordered a hv oil pump, van/truck pickup tube and rings for the kb pistons yesterday. i went for the van/truck pickup as they have a rear bowl sump. we'll alter my car sump to suit and this'll give more clearance over the front (transverse) spring crossmember in the nash. neil.

popped out to the mobile shed (my transit van) to have a look at the 360 heads we picked up last weekend at the pod. yes they're 'j' heads as stu told me which is cool. even better they have the larger 2.02" inlet valves which from what i've read means 340 or early 360 heads. also the chambers...

i read his reply as comp can grind the lunati profiles for you, not comp profiles are the same as lunati ones. :thumbsup: neil.

at least if it's made in japan it's likely to be half decent then. i'd choose 'made in japan' over 'made in china' any day. neil.

that's because heineken is metric not imperial :rofl: neil.

i did that work on a ford fe streetmaster intake, does that count? :thumbsup: neil.

i don't know if it had a non return valve but the ford efl90 is the same fitment but shorter. not sure if anyone makes an equivalent with the non return valve if not. worth a search to see though. neil.

that looks fine :thumbsup: . the only way to get it flatter would be to cut that section out and replace it with flat sheet. not worth it imo. neil.

and that's news how?? ffs! the prize for stating the bleedin' obvious goes to........ dartswinger70 :BangHead: :rofl: neil.

some filters have a non return valve too. neil.

another question, this time about the heads removed from the 360 engine fitted in a 70 challenger. did mopar even make a 360 in the 70 model year? so probably not the factory motor. that said the heads from that 360 are J heads which i understand from checking here were 70/71 for 340 and 360...

we collected all the parts from stu today at santa pod raceway (here in the uk). unfortunately he toasted the trans' in his 70 challenger so was out of the running in nostagia super stock. he did say the car was performing better with his new heads etc so that's good. he also had a pair of nice...

not until you rev it anyway :poke: :lol:
