Hey RRR, Thanks again. Other than cleaning up the oil drain holes, not grinding on the head. Just clearancing inside side the rockers, i.e. casting Ridges, bumps etc. Be well

Thanks all. Good stuff. Still in the test fit phase. Checking valve to piston clearance etc next. Will post the updates as things progress.

Thank RRR. The interference is primarily slop/rough spots from the casting process. Everything is lining up nicely. Appreciate the input as always.

Thanks for info. Miuch appreciated.

Hey Folks, Clearancing my mopar adjustable rockers to clear the spring retainers on the new Eddy heads. Going smoothly, but I'm wondering if there's a minimum clearance spec or simply take off material till they clear? Thanks in advance, Pat

Yeah, while I appreciate a strong running 360, 408 stroker etc. To me they're kinda like belly buttons, seems everybody has them. Again, I appreciate the performance, but I've had a special place in my heart for 340s ever since getting my clock cleaned (repeatedly lol) by one as a kid driving...

Those that have them like and appreciate them for what they are.

Running one on my Duster 340. Work very nicely when paired with the 3500 stall and 4.30s. Given the OP is working on a truck, dual plane may be a better choice.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I'll definitely try a couple different carbs to see what it likes. Ultimately the car will be enjoyed on strip/street rips and leisurely backroad cruises.

Hey Mike, @EL5DEMON340 That's friggin awesome. I may just take you up on that offer! If nothing else, I can check out all the changes you've made to the Demon since we saw each other last. And gotta check out the work on the heads too. Thinking of doing some work on these new Eddys. I'll...

Thank you both for the quick replies. Much appreciated! I will definitely will be running an AF gauge to take away some of the guesswork. Be well, Pat

Hey Folks, In the process of putting the top end of the 340 back together. 72 Duster, 340, J-Heads w 2.02 intake, 727 w/RMVB, 3500 stall, 4.30 gears. The motor has what appears to be a decent cam (Unknown grind but really comes alive as the rpms increase), .30 over KB 1267 10.2 pistons...

Boom! Thanks! Clear as day!

Hey folks, Chasing threads and cleaning everything up for the new heads. Happened to notice this stamping on the block. Any ideas what, if any, significance it has? Don't know much about the motor other than it was rebuilt at some point in it's life. Thanks in advance!

Good luck with the troubleshooting man. You'll get it sorted out. :thumbsup:

:rofl:

Another Black TRV user here. Works great when I apply enough of it (learned the hard way LOL).

Thought they made a one piece 360 gasket. Might help?

Can always pull the pan if in doubt. Some earlier 72 340s had forged cranks, mine did. But as noted above, yourd appears to be cast balancer.

Good stuff Mike. Looking forward to seeing your handy work. The beast shoild respond nicely to the added flow! Be well,  Pat

Hey Mike, @EL5DEMON340 are you gonna gasket/port match the intake as well? Be well, Par

Thanks. Yeah I am happy with the heads from my initial inspection. Just don't want to grind away anything I may need later lol. Thanks again for for the reply. Much appreciated.

Hey Folks, Getting ready to clean up the new Eddy heads I picked up. The areas pictured below appear to have a thin ridge that appears to not have been opened up completely. While I can see where they opened the areas up with a router but looks like there's a bit of material I could clean up...

Hey Folks, Getting my list of parts required to install the Eddy 60779 heads on the 340. Not really looking for rollers. I know Edelbrock indicates the heads were designed to accept the old style adjustable rocker arms when using a more aggressive than stock cam. I'm thinking about using the...

Hey Folks, Picked up a set of Edelbrock heads (60779) for the Duster (72, 340, 727, Hooker Comps, manual steeringabd brakes). Would love to keep the Hooker Comps and wondering if anyone's running a similar combo? Did you need to modify/clearance the headers to fit? I have no problem taking a...

oil pump failed Similar to the problem I had. Started car, Zero oil pressure. Appeared that the shaft end stripped and ultimately failed. Hope you get it sorted out.

Congratulations!!!! Nice job.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Be well and enjoy the holiday weekend all.

Hope that's it. Mine was doing the same after replacing the rear main. Pulled the inspection plate and hit it with brake cleaner and airhose. Did the trick. Of course, came to find that my 90 oil filter was weeping too...lol. Good luck with the troubleshooting.

@Lasalle May be some residual oil in the bell housing still seeping out?
