Looks good.Building a era 70s Dart Swinger as you can see I think it's pretty close.
Double valve springs or a single valve spring and damper?Picked up a correct date code 360, I was told it was stock but when I pulled it down I was supprised to find. J heads with 2.02 inlet, 1.60 exhaust, standard rockers, double value springs.
Standard crank I think you ment???Block has standard bore, zero deck, forged pistons, ARP rod & main bolts, standard crack, balanced & HV oil pump.
Are the bores worn out? The rings good? It would be a shame to throw away a great starting point with forged slugs and a zero deck height on them to boot.
Now the engine will take a hone, rings & bearings, heads will need a reco.
What I'm after is a nostalgic cam, inlet, carbie & sump combo. I was told that Dodge dealers use to fit Offy inlet manifolds, Carter carbie & soild cams as a after market offer is this correct?
Over here...... Mom MoPar never ever installed an aftermarket intake except the Edelbrock 6 pak intake. Period, bottom line...never.
MoPar's side arm race dept. was called the "Direct Connection" since you were directly connected to them. Just walk up and sak for what you want.
They also offered books on this. The "Engines" book was a big info book with listed parts to the speed or actually, "ET" you wanted to run. In the old days, before Chrysler Corp. had a department designing there own stuff, Direct Connection sold Edelbrock parts over the counter and still sell Holley carbs. I never remembered seeing a Offy sold through them. The only one ever mentioned in ther books is the Port-o-sonic. A single plane race intake.
They did offer Edelbrock intakes.
The LD4B for the smaller 2 engines, the LD340 for the larger engines. (Both small block intakes.)
Typical carb size offerings were the Holley 3310 model, a 750 cfm unit with vacuum secondaries. This 4160 style carb was found everywhere back in the day. OR, it was a double pumper.
They also still offer there own line of cams. There not the most street freindly or up to date cams, but they work as intended.
They range from smaller than stock to out right drag race only. Nyd, solid or roller. Your choice. (Rollers are very large cams.)
My combo so far is 3.70 diff, tricked 904 with no stally as I have not choosen a cam, tyres will be 26" to 28".
Can anyone help me with a nostalgic or period correct combo?
A typical combo fitting your stock stall and gear ratio would look something like;
A Holley 3310 (Or a 750 cfm carb)
LD340 inlet
Headers (extractors)
And a stock 340 replacement cam working with bowl ported heads and there matched springs. The replacement cam has a narrower centerline for a choppy idle and more lift. Just a tad more.
I'd stick with 26 inch tires with the 3.70 gears.
Next cam up in the MoPar line up would need a higher stall converter and gear ratio. Like a 2500 stall (min.) and 4.10 gears.
