You weren't clear, did you want to stay with the small 5x4 bolt circle, or switch to the larger 5x4.5? If you're going to the 5x4.5, there are LOTS of options. -Explorer 8.8, with limited slip and discs. 8.8 swap -Pre '70 B body 8.75, no narrowing required, just use wheels with more backspace-...

Oh! I misunderstood what you want to do- you want to temporarily hook the system up to the manifolds for a test stand? In that case, you could use the type of ball flange that you referenced above, and just put an elbow on it to connect to the pipe/mufflers. But to use a ball flange on a...

A Hemi Dart AND a good breakfast on the same day?? What a morning- it don't get any better than that!

Just an interesting FYI: Electric Choke Conversion Kit - TQ

Additional note: When searching the tire size, include results for '67+ Dart (not Dart Sport). Same rear wheel wells and fender openings as a Scamp. You should be able to go 225 70 in the rear (235 may physically fit, but you're going to run into issues with speedometer calibrations); but I...

I'm gonna be different and say have it powdercoated.

That's a two-bolt ball flange, the exhaust kit uses three-bolt flanges- no go. You could try a collector adapter like these: ReducerAdapters (I just used TTi's site for reference, I'm sure they're available elsewhere, too) Honestly, I'd just leave the flanges off the exhaust system and see if...

TTi makes headpipes for the 340 manifolds, but they don't have collector flanges on them. You could add the flanges to the headpipes or leave them off the exhaust system and just hook them up with slipjoints. They're kinda pricey for what they are, though. I would think a local exhaust shop...

In '78-'79 or so Mopar smallblocks went to a smaller, offset thermostat. Magnum and Chebby size (maybe slant 6 size too? Dunno.). Most aftermarket manifolds are sized for the earlier thermostats and housings.

My '68 Darts seem to be natural also, my '66 is galvanized.

The numbers on the side of the block won't be stamped- they'll be cast onto the block.

Many carbs can be made to work well; but personally, with your relatively mild build and intended use I'd stick with the LD340 and top it off with an AVS II 650. Good tuneability and great street manners. No matter which carb you ultimately use, make sure you also get the correct linkage...

Year and model. The boosters changed over the years.

This issue crops up with exhaust manifolds frequently. Just use a header flange as a spacer between the head and header and you'll be golden. Edit: You'll probably need longer header bolts or studs (maybe 1/2" longer?).

Use the "rope trick" like you would do for changing valve springs- feed a length of rope into a cylinder through a spark plug hole, then let the crank turn until the piston comes up to TDC on the compression stroke. Torque it, then back it up and remove the rope.

Big bucks if you can find one. A cheaper alternative would be the '92-93 Magnum manifold that has a larger outlet diameter than the later ones, casting numbers 617/618. Even the standard Magnum manifolds don't give much up to the larger bore ones or the 340 manifolds. They all will take some...

They weren't just from Mopar; I remember McCord, Victor, and probably a few others were making them and were sometimes even included in their gasket sets and service packs. Somebody, somewhere must still have the dies sitting on a dusty shelf in a forgotten backroom.

No, that's economics. It's not a matter of how many years the valance panel has been out, it's a matter of how many they need to sell just to break even. And there isn't ANY company that's in business just to "break even". On a low demand part (be honest with yourself- how many people are...

Since they held up behind Max Wedges, they'll hold up behind your 300 horse 360. The only issue is gear selection is becoming limited.

These are desperately needed, and Van's is just the place to do it. Solid Mopar people who repop a LOT of quality parts- and their prices stay reasonable. If I had a new one, I would sell it to them in a heartbeat- but all I've got at the moment is used ones, and some of them aren't very pretty.

Northridge earthquake 1994.

Hogwash. 318s share the same LA architecture as every other small block, use most of the same parts, and respond to the same mods as any other LA engine. That '87 stands a good chance of being a factory roller cam motor, too. From the factory it had 9:1 compression and the somewhat desirable 302...

External balance 340s were limited to late '72 and '73 model year engines, if your '69 340 is a stock bottom end, it will be internally balanced. Therefore, you should be able to bolt your torque convertor up with a B&M 10239 flexplate, which is made for the LA360 balance with a904 convertor...

Depends on a number of things. Is/was your 340 a late '72 or '73 externally balanced engine? Since it's a 904 (not original to 340s in any form) it could be balanced by convertor weights or by the flexplate; which changes the needs for the new engine... Is your new Blueprint 408 internally or...

:thumbsup: Yeah, if you're on here long enough someone will say Hemis are junk, too. I take everything with a grain of salt, and tend to pay more attention to comments when egos aren't getting in the way. You know the drill!

Yep, I bought a number of the LX101s (NOT the LX101T) a few years back, they supposedly don't have the rev limiter in them- not that any of my stuff gets wound out that high anymore anyways. But they've been rock-solid reliable without so much as a hiccup. They beat the heck out of all the...

The Wilwoods still widen the front, although they say it's only .20, so a hair under a quarter inch. I'm gonna bet that if the tires touched at rest with the factory discs, they'll still touch with the Wilwoods as the suspension cycles. For less than the cost of the Wilwood kit and the extra...

Pictures, pictures, pictures. The torsion bars do not go through the K frame... Are you talking about the lower control arm pivot pins?
