Have about 3 hours of run time. Melling high volume pump, Cloyes S402 timing chain. What you see is what you get. $50 plus shipping. Northern MA 01450. Thanks.

OP back. I wanted to clear up a few things. - Rick is more than welcome to having the block back, with the pistons and crank, and everything else I'm not using (cam and lifters, too; see below). - I paid between $3-4 for the rebuilt 340. Reusing the heads on the 360. - Rick sold it to me with...

Agreed. Last post (my version of the timeline and pics) over at FBBO. Done here. Thanks, FABO.

Thanks for all your comments. Some of you have dealt with me over the years, most have not. A few salient details: - I'm not going to say how much I paid for the rebuilt motor, but it was not top dollar, nor was it $600. Since Rick put it out there how much I was looking for in compensation, you...

Rick has his reply posted on FBBO, I'll copy it here so you can see I'm not a complete DB, but Kerndog is entitled to his opinion of me. "Ed- I am driving a 1970 V-code Road Runner from New York to San Francisco at the moment, so my reply will be brief. I have not had the benefit of seeing his...

Yes, that Rick Ehrenberg, long time tech editor for your favorite Mopar magazine. I bought a rebuilt 340 (oil pan to intake, less exhaust manifolds) from Rick in the summer of 2017. While he didn’t build it, he said he knew the engine builder who did and he’d stand behind the engine. The...

Thanks, Moper. Exactly. From what I've gleaned from the multiple comments, go for a piston that will provide 9-9.5:1 CR with these heads. Sounds like good advice to me. BTW, here's a pic of the cam card.

Thanks to all for your input. Rumblefish and I have connected with parts from Moparts days gone by. Appreciate the input. I love the opinions. To answer a few non-technical questions: - the MMM is a friend and long-time player in the Mopar game. He's had and done many cars over the years. His...

Thanks, Wyrmrider and others. Yes, the 600cfm carb is already bought so will stay put. This will be a street car that will be pushed periodically for fun. Between the carb and intake, I'm sure it will run out of breath over 4500rpm, but I'm good with that. Its a heavy car, to boot, so I want a...

Kicked that idea around. The 340 crank has some rust scoring on the ears. The 360 apparently doesn't need any machining. I don't know what it costs in South Texas, but the reliable machinists in my neck of the woods don't work cheaply. I'm probably gonna break even going with the 360 and the new...

Already have the exhaust manifolds (see in the pic; they are on the 340 now) and the cam and lifters. Good thoughts on the springs. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Cam and lifters are bought but not installed. The 340 had/has a mystery Mopar purple stripe cam. The 340 was a fresh build done years ago and put away, unfortunately not sealed up very well and rust has crept into the bores and the crank. The engine was just fired for the...

Thanks for the input. I'll run the idea of flat top pistons by the MMM (Master Mopar Mechanic). But I already have the stall converter in-place.

Oh, I did forget to mention '72 iron heads, valves opened to 2.02/1.60 valves, bowl ported.

So, the '72 340 I bought for my '73 Satellite was torn down and found to have significant scoring in the bores due to it sitting around for years. Condensation took that puppy down. So, my mechanic buddy has an LA 360 block and crank that's been sitting in an oiled bag since 2010. Bored .030...
