    Should I be feeling more power?

    Mopar purple shafts have the same specs big or small block. I also think he should map out his timing curve. Kim

    Tail of two darts

    I have a 63 dart 170 convertible with the manual transmission looking at putting a floor shifter in not sure three or four speed yet but wondering what if any of my original parts can I use? I know the tree speed does not have the mounting location for the shifter and is a non-synchro first gear...

    I rolled engine install solo. Went well... I used cardboard and tarps to protect things... I'll lift the transmission up and put it on the transmission jack. Makes it easy to adjust the angles

    How many of you grease your own trailer axles?

    2 to 4 pumps should be enough. The grease in the cap that you just pumped in will melt and flow through the outer bearings and top up the grease well in the hub. Grease will flow into the inner bearings. I personally prefer to remove the hubs, clean and repack the bearings by hand. Fill the...

    Is 20W-50 too heavy for my 340?

    I've been running Valvoline VR-1 20W-50 in my 340 for years with no problems.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Again, I watch some of Ben. You may consider him a god. I do not. You say that *** duration and *** lift is what’s acceptable. To who? You? I get it. You love to listen to other people and broadcast what they say, rather than actually going out and building engines. I mean 220 at .050? That’s...

    2.76 vs 2.94 gearing

    I have experience with the opposite. My '79 Aspen wagon had 2.71 gears and I needed the axle rebuilt and couldn't tie the car up while it was being done. So I popped a 2.94 in it while the rebuilt was being done. I lost about 2-3mpg in fuel economy and saw a very slight increase in off the...

    Front suspension Q’s

    Thanks. I didn’t read the first posts correctly and I thought the offset bushings were also adjustable. Now I understand they just give you more range - if they are installed correctly. Didn’t mean to hijack the post, but this was good information I didn’t have about the Moog bushings. Now I...

    How many of you grease your own trailer axles?

    I have a HQ15 Black Series travel trailer and I am in the process of converting the hubs to an oil bath bearing set up. Due the amount of miles traveled and weight #5200. From what I been advised its good solution to the joys bearing packing...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    If he thinks 4.30’s are too low for the street he definitely wouldn’t like 4.56’s. Or the 4.88’s in there now. Since he doesn’t like more gear or can’t handle it he thinks no one else can either.

    Last one to post in this thread wins!

    Got a picnic table out by the garden. Wife bought couple cold beers each because she knew the first one would be hoovered. So I decided to lay down on picnic table bench, well haven’t laid on anything that straight for a long time. The amount of snap crackle pop that was going on should have...

    How many of you grease your own trailer axles?

    Did you pull the hubs off to clean and repack the bearings and relace the axle seals, or do you have dust caps with grease fittings? I do not like the grease fittings. If you pumped a full grease tube in each hub, they are totally full. There is a grease well in the center of each hub that holds...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    i would swap the camshaft, the intake, carb and a new double roller timing chain set at the same time. Your adding more fuel and air but your camshaft can’t benefit from the upgrades truly with that stock camshaft. Trust me you’ll want more............

    Cragar SS lug nut trouble

    IMO, the minute washer faces on these 7/16" Cragar SS lugs working against the Cragar supplied washers are too small to be reliable for holding torque. Doesn't take much to start digging into the washers. Couple that with any wear on the studs over the years you may be constantly re-torquing...

    72 duster resto

    Better late than never. Per @RAMM , my 340 block decks were both out of square with the crank AND different heights. If you haven't already, you'll have spent money wisely squaring up and zero-decking your block for your chosen piston combo. (I went with Ross pistons, and Eagle crank and...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Depends on whether or not you make any other changes. If you leave the 2v camshaft in the engine, it's going to make a little more power, but not a lot. If you go to a cam that's matched to the carb & intake you put on, then you'll see a decent difference. Basically if you leave the 2v cam in...

    Front suspension Q’s

    Their are no dash indicators on a 66 B-Cuda, They didn't have them, just the fender fins, which are like hens teeth to find, along with the wiring. You could install a couple of LEDs in the dash, (the kind with the long wires attached) if you wanted too.. then just tap into the appropriate wires...

    Someone needs to start re-casting 340 blocks

    Just mill one out of a block of 2024-T3. A 3-0 by 4-0 billet is only $20k. Another $20k in machining, bushing, sleeving and etc. should do it. JK, of course ;-) Joining the chorus here... Love the revs, buy a used R3 cup-car motor and find all the crazy parts needed to actually get it...

    Front suspension Q’s

    The only adjustment is how you install them. The arrow on the bushing indicates the direction of offset. For most caster, the front is offset out and the back is offset in. After you've installed them it's a done deal and all further adjustments are made by twisting the cam bolt. The alignment...

    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    Its big because that is just meant to be a passageway, not a restriction. The outer passage goes to the idle port and is restricted by the needle valves (idle mix screws). The inner passage goes to the transfer slow and is restricted by the slot width, depth, and amount exposed to manifold...

    2.76 vs 2.94 gearing

    the 7.25 gets a bum rap for a few reasons. it was a lightweight axle to begin with, and people tend to forget these cars were built as basic disposable transportation back then. ma mopar didn't intend for these axles to last 40, 50, 60 years. another part of it is that as people upgraded they...

    Back after a couple of decades

    Figured I’d go ahead and make an into thread. Back in the mid 90s I was a young teen and a close friend’s older brother had (and still has) a 67 Dart GT. It was originally a 273 4 barrel 4spd car that he gotten form his dad. I being 13-14 years old not knowing a ton about cars thought it was the...
