Just a vent. They don’t need to be hooked to anything. Pretty much any other breather needs a baffle.

I used these, the way they are made doesn’t require a baffle.

Hmm :realcrazy:

Having one of these cars myself I would highly recommend putting the master cylinder on rubber lines so it can be easily flipped out of the way.

It’s alive and it’s got stupid power!

Beautiful!!

Heading the correct direction! Also came across this video, my dart makes a cameo in here beating up on a late 70’s Camaro at the 47 sec mark.

Been a rough week. Spent a week watching someone close die over Christmas weekend and then caught Covid this weekend. Wife banned me from roaming the house so I pretty much finished the hemi for therapy reasons over the last 2 days (not really feeling sick after the first 3 days of this...

These transmissions are old and abused. It may have already been damaged but not visible. I always have all the parts mag checked for cracks.

10pm I decided to drag my *** off the couch to knock pistons in. 11pm I have a short block and a cold beer!

Face plated hemi box would probably be the hot ticket for a 340. Should live ok as that little engine shouldn’t really stress out a properly built trans. Big Torque and traction will kill them, this one was behind my 500ci hemi and even had a Hyatt built soft loc. it was fun for a few passes.. I...

Worked on it off and on today. Got the crank in, Disassembled the pistons and rods, cleaned everything up and put them back together. The C clips on the CP pistons are a *****. Gapped the top rings. 2nd ring is bigger than I wanted out of the box. Debating on this one.

External oil supply to the pump. Typically used high rpm applications or for stroker kits if they interfere with the internal pickup. Very common on Hemi’s. I run 2 supply lines on mine. They are hooked to a swinging pickup in the pan that will follow the oil movement on acceleration and...

One thing I should add to the thread as I did some intake work that really helped out the drivability and distribution on the bigger cube engine. Idle quality greatly improved. I believe it’s faster as well but I changed a few things so I can’t quantify a number.

Complete build roadrunner 8.4

Being a hemi i would expect the power to peak somewhere at least in the mid to high 6k range. Dyno sheet looks like it was still going as well.

What are you running for a cam? Curious why you cut it off at such a low rpm.

Actually I’m off so I probably could have it close by the weekend but I think the wife has other plans.. lol You hammered on yours yet? Thing has to be a rocket!

Well, had the balance checked on the new crank. It was off. 20 grams on the front and 30 on the rear. It’s dialed in now and ready to go. Going to try and get it back together and in the car in a reasonable time frame.

For what? I’ve driven stock 318’s a lot of miles. They’re good engines. Just a small bore 340 with anemic factory breathing. Once I start buying aftermarket parts though things need to make sense. Bore size is to important to overlook when you start bolting on good flowing heads. Kind of the...

Torque storm is hardly a serious supercharger. And if it’s something that’s going to make real boost power a factory Chrysler block shouldn’t even be on the build sheet. IMO

I don’t understand the mind set of building a small bore block. Bigger the bore means less shrouding of the valves and equates to better air flow. Air flow makes power. Which if you’re building a stoker you’re after power. Also a little math helps justify it as well. If the engine is expected to...

From what I’ve seen, koffles dyno is pretty happy. In other words it’ll show big numbers..

New crank in hand. Measure it up to see how my clearances look. Also sent my rockers back and had them drilled to oil the pivot and roller.

Lots of them. I’d give it a few heat cycles and a hand full of passes before it would grenade the engine.

Heads are back and ready to go. Block is back and ready for go. Crank is balanced, back, and eh, er, well

Dropped the crank off a week ago about 2.5hrs away. They are going to fix the balance and send it back. Heads were really nasty from all the oil it sucked in when it had the vacuum leak. Looking at them the valve job looks kind of beat up as well. Cleaning them up and going to drop them off for...

Everything looks pretty good. I was worried the mains might be screwed up from the balance issue but they look ok. Biggest decision I have is do I reuse the rings or put a new set in. I have a set ordered so I’ll probably just start fresh again. Just have to wait 6 weeks. Gonna run the bearings...

Engine is out and apart.. Hmm why does my 800hp hemi vibrate like a *****. After tearing it down and running the numbers myself it’s only 229 grams light on the bob-weight it was balanced too… their bob-weight 2199. My bobweight 2428…. I should have caught this one before I assembled it, live...
