    Twin TorqStorm 440 Build

    I can’t wait to see this in the car myself. Been kicking around the idea. Definitely would be a show stopper.

    727 ticking in park?

    Alright, apologies for taking so long to get back on here and post the findings. As it turns out, the converter drain plug was the culprit. Under a load the flex plate would flex back just enough for it not to make contact. In park with no load it would continue to hit. Simple fix all is well...

    727 ticking in park?

    I bet that was a sick feeling limping home like that. Thanks for all your thoughts guys. It’s making me feel a bit better about it that we all have the same thoughts as to what it could be. Means it’s probably something simple and over looked during the install. A quick fix is my hope. I never...

    727 ticking in park?

    I’ll keep that in mind Austin and see what’s going on. I re used the parking pawl that was in it. Assuming it was native to the transmission. But I’ll check for any movement in park for sure.

    727 ticking in park?

    He’s driving it, 1969383s, I’ve not heard the sound yet. On yours you said until above 15mph, that’s what has me stumped thinking about it. He’s saying only in park. Any other selection it goes away. It’s probably simple and I’m over thinking it which I do often. I will check that linkage...

    727 ticking in park?

    That would be my thoughts as well, he’s telling me no. No clue what bolts he used, I’ll find out tomorrow I guess. I’ve only ever heard of this happening with a flex plate or bolt issue. But the in park only thing got me. So I was curious if anyone else had ever heard of a converter or something...

    727 ticking in park?

    As the title says guys, I built a transmission for my buddy’s car, (not my first rodeo) and it’s ticking in “park only” so he tells me, described similar to a lifter tick. I haven’t been over to check it out yet but wanted to get your thoughts and share mine prior to heading over there. Here’s...

    Cannot decide on project direction 73 Duster 340

    All good responses, the diversity here is the same issue I’m having with making the build decision. Resale value isn’t really important to me, this one will stay and likely be handed down. Seems like most are agreeing to update ride quality, stopping power, stepping up the engine a bit but not...

    Cannot decide on project direction 73 Duster 340

    Well pro touring should have been a third choice in the poll. Pro street to me is max effort barely streetable and what I have done on all my builds thus far in life. Pro touring would be as you guys have said more updated equipment and look, creature comforts, etc. Original style is what it...

    Cannot decide on project direction 73 Duster 340

    Yep that’s my problem, I would be happy either way. As it sits it looks like an average 340 with some drag lites 295s in the back, 165r15 in the front. But as I had said in a post the other day, I been thinking about that FAST class racing, but, it’s not around here. They only sanction 7 races a...

    Cannot decide on project direction 73 Duster 340

    Have a new project H code 73 duster 4 speed, non numbers matching. Do I restore to stock like condition, or go pro street. It already is somewhat pro street, but not cut up. I will not cut it up regardless. I just cannot decide a direction. I’m trying to post a poll, my first one. Help me pick a...

    340 stroker cam

    XE274H-10 This cam will bring you in on the low side. But with the 1.6 rockers you would be 230 duration at .050 and lift would end up being .520, but as rumblefish said your probably gonna have to swap the springs. Maybe go with those beehive jobs for a lighter valve train. Give you a couple...

    340 stroker cam

    Dodgedifferent, brother, with all that going on hold off on the compression bump save the cash. Honestly with those flow numbers your last big jump is at .550, after that the heads start slowing down. See your starting to only increase flow a couple points, 12 points between 500 and 550...

    340 stroker cam

    Rumblefish, Now that combo is right on the edge of pump gas, really about a point high for that camshaft, 10:1 would be better. Or bring your duration at .050 up to around 246. You will likely need race fuel, or jet up and pull timing to try to get it right on pump gas, without detonation. If...

    340 stroker cam

    Agreed, also consider at his current compression the RPM advantage is lost with the current cam, so the cam makes power to 7400 example, his engine runs out before 7400 is reached. So if he’s starting to fall off at 6800 what’s the point of a 7400 cam. I think we’re on the same page. If he pulls...
