Hello all! Mopar340dave here
Yes the engine is original, that's why i don't want to blow it up....again! LOL
I have a 318 from a 85 New Yorker that was way too good stock not to build it BAD. I put it in my Dart w/3.91 gears and a 4-speed and drove it from Florida to NY state and back. The only maintenance I did on it was to add oil and gas and I had some radiator issues. That issue is gone with a large Griffin with a big electric fan and an aluminum shroud that covers the entire rear face plus no more mechanical fan.
I have the original 340 in it now. The X heads have s little clean-up done to them with a good valve job, there's a supposedly custom ground cam in it to match my heads (???), Crane race rockers, chrome box, TTI headers + Flowmasters, BG Might Demon 650...probably too much carb for the set-up right now. The carb was really for the .528/308 solid Clay Smith I was running before (and still should be!).
And...uhhh...yeah...I suck for pictures....
This is my 05 Nightrain in front of it. I have an 07 now.
