Nope. That was my decision and my wife was a little worried as Jeff was an unknown to her and one of my car buddies. It couldn't have been better.

Any Van Ness Dodge, Van Ness Chrysler Plymouth, or Westlake Dodge (Daly City) plate frames?

If it's already .060 over and has too much taper you are unlikely to be able to bore any farther without issues as the cylinder walls start to get real thin. The only one I would buy is the original block for my wife's GTS and that would be just to have it.

You would if it was .060 over and worn out. I wouldn't touch it without pulling the heads and pan. The pan doesn't bother me. My '70 340 had a truck pan on it when I bought it in the early '90s. It also had a BIG solid cam and W-2's. I did buy it from someone I trusted as well so I didn't feel...

I've got a junk Delco here that Rock Auto would not take back even though they have a lifetime warranty. I would go with Pro Forged.

If you're going to pull the K-member back out make sure it is square (same distance on the diagonals) and put the LCAs in and run a straightedge to make sure the sockets are parallel. I've pulled a lot of k-members from one car to put in another and NEVER had this problem. Also, with the K out...

I'm 64 and have no desire to put sound deadening in any of my cars and I have owned a quiet car (2004 BMW 330ci convertible with sport suspension). These cars are not supposed to be quiet, in my opinion. Yes, you did well on that car. The closest we came to something like that was a '71 six...

You have no idea if it's standard bore or a worn out .060. That makes a huge difference in value. J heads are every bit as good as X heads with one possible HUGE advantage. X heads are known to crack between the intake seat and spark plug hole. I haven't heard of that with the later heads. With...

What else needs to be said is a pair of stripes in the road in first and another in second after having to stop for a light (440/4sp). Donna didn't say a word...

Go big. You may or may not need a new radiator as both big and small blocks have the option of WP inlet on either side. BUT, the radiator may not be up to cooling your new engine. We have a factory 340 car and have built a couple of 440 cars. I don't build anything with huge cams, etc. The...

Considering where you are located, the Cadillac all the way. However, depending on the weather, a convertible would be cooler...This was our wedding car 42 years ago. I still know where the car is (it never was our car, but belonged to a friend of mine back then. He sold it to another friend who...

DeAnza College, Cupertino. 101 to 85 to Stevens Creek Blvd (turn right).

And my red GTS came with red letters.

A lot of talent in that room. I went to school with some kids with that kind of talent (I was not one of them). Some of them are still making music and we're old now...I've got some rare video tape from those days as our school had a closed circuit TV station and I have the tapes (yes, in the...

Already done. Any member can approve a new member. I did that for you an hour ago or so.

The interior may not have any tears, BUT I can smell the mildew from here. No way you're not replacing the whole interior. And, yes, it is overpriced by double.

I was afflicted with the convertible bug FOUR decades ago with the purchase of the '68 GTS. Still have it along with the '67 Barracuda. One of these days both cars will be finished again. Side by side a few years ago.

I'm always partially on the lookout for my original 340 (8P111754).

Nice. What year 340? VIN?

I really doubt that a .3 drop in compression would account for that much power loss. I do suspect that the addition of the catalytic convertor, which in those days was very restrictive, single exhaust, carb and distributor changes for smog, lean burn, and other things like less cam caused the...

I don't have concrete evidence, but to my knowledge both '78 and '79 LRE's were available in California. As for how a smog pump works, I have a theory. They claim it allows for unburned gasoline in the exhaust to burn due to the introduction of more oxygen. My theory is that all it does is...

If you're on Facebook, look up Sam Bledsoe. He's in central California and has a very unmolested LRE, which I seem to recall being a '79. He's been around these '72-80 truck for a long time and has parted out many.

Unfortunately that feature ended in 1966. I'd love to be able to adjust the seats in my '67 and '68 A-bodies.

Year One's price is a bit on the high side. I bought a set last year from a local resto supplier and I want to say it was around $30, perhaps less.

New alternator bracket set is not very expensive...All the resto suppliers should have it.

I bought some low profile LCA bumpers from Summit. They're more like buttons. We have also cut some factory ones down. I like to have about an inch between the bumper and frame. Energy Suspension 9.9102G Energy Suspension Bump Stops | Summit Racing

The VIN on the engine in on the pan rail, not the front of the block. The front of the block has the build information for the engine only. ALL 1971 340s had Thermoquads.

Correct. '67 and '69 did not have the belt molding, '68 did. '67 and '69 are very similar, but the location of the end screw hole is different.

I've got three in pretty good shape. $150 plus shipping.
