I purchased a rebuilt 340 5-31-72 four years ago, with rebuilt a833 attached to it. New summit dual plane intake, new water pump, new mini starter, new alt, hurts short shifter and new clutch flywheel. Paid 1400 total
It's been sitting for 4 years I always turn it over and check oil. Stored indoors. Just dropped it in my 70 dart swinger 1 owner. The car has full hotchkiss sway bars, Bilstien shocks, firm feel box, pst control arms, 1.01 torsion bars. And a bunch other stuff
I was told the 340 was built stock with a mild cam. Does anyone use 8.5 pistons on a rebuild (they were stock) is there any way to know what they used without pulling heads, should I change the cam so I know what is in there? Also I want the car to be 375-400 hp so I eventually will do heads. Also running dougs headers
Just looking for any input. Thanks in advance
