If you have faith, prayer is a very powerful tool.

Sounds like a sewing machine!!

Curious-what is that motor in?

Not head related but the steel crank 340 that came with my car (supposedly ran) has one cylinder .030” over with a different type of piston than the other 7 standard bore ones!

Unless you consider the Volkswagen Beetle. Doesn’t get much more simple than that. And it worked!!

I don’t have anxiety issues but these pictures give me anxiety!!

Should be a casting date on the other side of the block

A friend of mine put ported Eddy magnum heads on a stock stroke 340. Compression is 10.8:1. Don’t remember the cam but it did 435 hp on the dyno.

Were your “friends” Chevy guys by chance? Were they worried that your Mopar was faster than theirs?

What was the casting number on the heads?

Looks pretty clean. What’s the asking price?

Nice! I want to know more about the graffiti on the garage door!!

In the words of Monty Python: Your father was a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries!!

Wow! Stevie Wonder must be the Quality Manager there! That is terrible!!

@Jim Ward-you should sell me those headers so you can let that puppy breathe!!!

Looking pretty spiffy, Rob!!

Damn! What kind of abuse to did you give this poor thing?

5 & 6 are for the coil bracket, I believe

1978?

Will they pull the valve covers and pan so you can take a look? Better yet-pull a head?

If Joe Dirt was into A bodies, that would be his car!

I believe they painted the motors after the exhaust manifolds were installed. The overspray burned off after the engines were fired up.

340. Cast date is May 29, 1973. Came with a cast crank and lower compression pistons.

I remember an article in Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine years ago on this. If I remember correctly, they painted a SBC black and checked under hood temperatures and it seemed to be cooler.

Put a match to a small quantity and see if it ignites quicker than just plain oil. That will tell you if it’s water or gas.

Sure there were 2.02 J heads. Was someone on here questioning that? My 340 has 2.02 J heads-not sure if they were originally or were upgraded at some point.

I like tits. Unless they’re on a boar hog.

I always figured it was a box or mold type number, similar to the cavity number commonly seen on molded plastic parts. But, I’m not real familiar with casting processes either, so I could be way off base!!

They took the methylene chloride out of it. Pretty nasty stuff, but it made it work!

Port size on the 340 intake is likely larger than the 318 heads. What heads you got on the motor? If they’re J heads, you should be OK
