    Motor mount issue driving me crazy

    1968 Barracuda with a 408 stroker, magnum 360 block. I originally bought these 1973 van mounts because I read on here that the thicker mounts work best with Dougs headers and the Borgeson steering box. Turns out they're too thick and I can't get the distributor installed without the plug wires...

    318 idles rough and stumbles bad on acceleration

    This is a 75 D100 with a later roller 318 and quadrajet that I bought a year ago and have done minimal work to. For a few months I was dealing with the strange problem of the truck only wanting to start when the key was released. Turned out to be either the reluctor or the pick up coil in the...

    What oil pressure to expect from a 318 roller?

    This is a 75 Dodge D100. The guy I bought it from said it had a stock rebuilt 318 roller engine in it with about 30k on the rebuild. He owns a local business and was honest with everything I could verify on the truck so I have no reason not to believe him there. The gauge on the truck is not...

    Harmonic balancer touching the water pump

    I have a rebuilt 340 that I've yet to fire up. I made a thread a while back about the engine just all the sudden not wanting to turn over one day. I figured the cylinder walls may have gotten rusty from sitting but I used one of those cameras to look in there and they look clean. I arranged to...

    Rebuilt 340 really difficult to turn over

    I had the engine rebuilt in September but I'm just now getting this thing in the car. About two months ago I set the timing on it and was able to turn the engine fairly easily with the crank bolt and a breaker bar. Fast forward to today, I wanted to prime the engine right before I put it in so...

    Problem with 90* filter adapter threads in the block

    Went to put the 90* adapter on today and noticed that the first 1/2" or so of thread in the block is pretty mucked up while the rest of the threads in back are good. Problem is that I can't get the bolt to the good threads in back. It just stops a couple turns in and I have a feeling I'll break...

    Repopped 340 air cleaner

    Anyone know if these repopped air cleaners are of decent quality? Should be getting my 340 back from the shop here soon and am going to be in need of one. They're priced about $100 cheaper than what I see on ebay so I figured I'd give it a shot if they aren't made out of a soda can...

    Is this a good deal for a 340?

    I've only owned slant 6's up until this point so I'm a total V8 newbie. I met a guy who has a 72 340 block for sale. He said it's bored 40 over and has had all the machining done to it. Told me it was ready for a rebuild kit, some heads and it's ready to go. He also told me he can either throw...

    New to V8's. 340 or 383?

    Hey guys I've had my slant six Duster for 10 years now but I just recently bought a 67 Barracuda fastback with a 273 commando. The car came with a SBP 7 1/4" rear and 10" drum brakes. I plan on swapping the rear for at least an 8 1/4" and the fronts to discs. I've just began researching V8's...

    How do I ID a 340?

    So far I've only had slant 6's but I found a pretty cheap car and the guy says it's a 340. I went and looked at it and it idles nice but I have no idea if it's an actual 340 or not. I brought a paper with the v8 casting numbers on it but I couldn't really see anything with the exhaust manifolds...
