    Will 340 exhaust system fit 318 (1971 Duster)

    pay attention to how the 302 holes below the ports are plugged. May interfere with the older 318 or 340 manifolds if the plugs stick out far - nothing an angle grinder can't fix.

    Will 340 exhaust system fit 318 (1971 Duster)

    I have been running 340 manifolds on both my 318 Darts for over thirty years, one with stock 1970 heads, the other with 302 heads - no leaks, no issues, no muss, no fuss.

    68-70 340 exhaust manifolds

    if looking at old ones best to see them blasted clean The cracks that develop are hard to see beneath heavy rust or paint. Really look them over for cracks with a fine tooth comb.

    HOOD PAINT IDEAS

    suggestion: run the paint treatment across to the base of the windshied over the top of the cowl. There is a reason Mopar designers did this - make the hood not look like it was "tacked on" but rather an integral part of the car.

    Interior sound deadener

    DO NOT get deadener for the floor that is self adhesive!!! some day you will have to work on something, or weld on the floor pan underneath and removal of self adhesive sound deadener can be near impossible and very time intensive. I used Dynamat products on my latest project and used DynaPad...

    Sure-grip & spare tire size questions

    my front and rear tires are very different in width, but close to the same diameter. To make sure I had maximum truck space a spent a few days finding the narrowest tire that was close to the same diameter. Now all the tires are interchangeable in an emergency. It took some research but the...

    Tight fit to get exhaust pipe into

    get your head pipes from Accurate Limited - they will want the casting numbers on your exhaust manifolds when you order. Rather than putting big dents in the pipe they use a smaller pipe until it gets through the tight spot.

    67-76 dart belt molding interchange ?

    as long as they are both 2 door hardtops, you are in luck. If you are worried measure the top of the door and the distance from the front of the quarter to the back of the rear side window and it should be an inch or so shorter than that (for the pot metal piece), and compare to the length of...

    front of engine set up for 1969

    so a few pieces of info to clarify: forged to cast change happened mid year in 1972 so you might have a forged engine depending on when the engine was built as opposed to when the car was assembled. You have to match the timing cover, the harmonic balancer, both 69 and down or 70 and up. They...

    front of engine set up for 1969

    I have a friend that is working on a 69 Barracuda with a 340 that is not original to the car. I am concerned that he might have a mix of 1970 and 1969 parts (timing cover, water pump, harmonic balancer. Can somebody post a picture of that stuff for a 1969 340, from both the drivers and...

    What causes this?

    when you throw your shifter up into Park from neutral it pushes the trans just a little bit farther into park. If you don't fix this one day it won't start at all. at that point start the car in neutral until you can adjust the shifter
  18. str12-340

    What causes this?

    poorly adjusted shifter - the neutral safety switch keeps the car from starting, or trying to start and lurching forward or back. It is in the transmission and if you are not completely in the right gear (park or neutral) it won't allow the car to start. If your shifter isn't adjusted properly...

    Go to Legendary's web site and there is a section for custom colors and grains. I got mine done in stock grain in colors that were not offered that year. They even did the door panels like stock in a non-stock color for me. Costs 25% extra for the custom colors and grains. Their web site...

    How concerning are these jambs?

    take the car to a good body man and have him go over it to see what he can. The body shop that did the paint can only do what the car owner wants and maybe that was all they could afford. The stuff in your pictures seems just be surface rust that could be easily fixed and painted. no reason...

    Plate under the intake

    Are you going to leave the exhaust crossover passage open or close it off (in Florida I'd block it off for sure). If you block it off and disable or remove the flapper valve in the exhaust manifold, you can just leave that plate off - I believe that it is only there to keep from frying oil that...
