My 14 1500 Ram with a 5.7 has an 8 speed transmission.

The Dart is street/strip. Nothing wrong with it, would just like to build a decent cruiser with air that runs well. Most likely I’ll rebuild the engine, add a cam and do whatever mods needed to make it live a long life.

I’m going to sell my Dart and buy a 77-84 swb Dodge truck. The plan is to swap to a Gen 3 Hemi and 8 speed transmission. 6.1 or SRT 6.4, and why? Thanks.

No, I didn’t expect a 10.00 car to be a daily driver. It’s not cantankerous, don’t foul plugs and doesn’t get hot. I built it just like I’ve built all of my engines. Yes, I did pay someone to port the heads and do the machine work. I guess that makes me a check writer, LOL.

Okay. I too ran 4.57’s behind a 340, it’s not a earth shattering idea. You’re the internet winner. Please carry on.

Have you ever sought counseling? I’m sure you’re an intelligent guy, you just think your way is the only way. I do write checks for head porting and machine work, not for assembly. You apparently have the equipment to do it, congrats. Nothing wrong with short stroke engines, I’ve built...

Actually I haven’t learned from forums like this. I have however learned a lot talking to Dwayne Porter (PRH) Brett Miller and years ago Ryan Johnson. Yes, I’ve had help and have never denied it. I was told years ago, if you want to learn seek advice from people smarter than you. Please show...

Haha, my feelings are far from hurt. I’ve posted my work, you, not so much. I’ve never claimed to be a machinist, don’t have the equipment. You’re the winner, does that make you feel better?

I don’t need you to build my engines, I build my own. Please show your work.

I won’t argue with math, just the application. Why would I write checks to idiots? I respect the opinions of a few members here, you are not one of them. Please carry on keyboard expert.

I didn’t tell him he shouldn't run his 4.56 or build a 340. It’s internet experts like you who tell everyone what they shouldn’t do. There are more than one way to skin a cat. It’s like grade school math, show your work. I’ve posted several examples of mine. All you’ve done is thump your chest...

Not calling you or anyone else a liar, your stuff probably runs hard. The opinion that it’s my way or the highway is what sticks in my craw. You are right, I’m not a engine builder. I do build all of my stuff, engines, transmissions and fabrication. My hat is off to you sir.

I have no problem with short stroke engines, only internet experts.

What do you have and what has it run? Weight? I’ll leave the dick measuring to internet experts like you.

I’m looking for a dump truck to put my engine in. That’s all any small block with a stroke over 3.31” is good for. LOL

Cool. What did your 4” engines run and at what weight? Fuel?

It is a street car. Yes, it has Indy heads. My Edelbrock headed 408 ran 6.57 @ 104 with a flat solid on pump 93 at 3240# with Edelbrock heads. It got driven on the street a lot. I love 340’s and have one, it ran 7.24 @ 94 and 11.60 @ 116 with a flat hydraulic cam and Edelbrock heads, 3240# on...

Define a tractor engine? My 434 has turned 7800. Tractor engine?

Big difference.

Will a 340 do it on 93 pump gas at 3290#?

Okay, what would it take to build a stock stroke 340 to pull that weight 135, on pump 93?

28”.

How many rpm’s would I have to turn a pump gas 340 to run 10.00 @ 135 in my 3290# Dart.

You can change the needle and seat assembly without removing the bowl.

I wonder if he's welding the oil hole for the pushrods. I don't think I'd want any welding done on the body.

Did he explain the "excess windage" comment? Do the Bamm's have a passage axle oiling?

I wish I knew someone who was there, I'd love to have a Hemi Challenge cap. First pair in the box now.

Come on John, let this crap go. Life is too short to be bitter.
