Yeah - it's kind of an oddball - it's a 70 service block and I think it has a cast crank in it. I planned on checking it out a little closer before I actually stuck everything in a car. I did a lot of goofy things when I was putting it together 20 years or so ago. #-o TRW stock replacement...

I may have to get another converter anyway. It's a 70 340 but I think it's got a cast crank in it IIRC. The Fairbanks I ordered for a 70 340 before I knew that. Aren't cast crank 340s externally balanced? Like I've said before - I've been out of the Mopars for quite a while now. :sad10:

I've got one of those Direct Connection performance electronic distributors around here somewhere with a couple hundred miles on it. It didn't do much for my 76 van but'll probably make it onto this engine. :wink:

Thanks Rumblefish, you've given me a little assurance that this setup might work somehow. The engine's already together, though. The heads were shaved about .004 for flatness and hardened exhaust seats were installed. I used .020 steel shim gaskets - everybody wanted higher compression back...

That sounds kinda like what I was considering running - I've had a lot of this stuff for 25-30 years on a shelf and figure I really ought to use it some day. I have a rebuilt standard bore 70 340 with 1.88 intake valve heads (I think). It has 284/484 Purple shaft cam and I have a new Fairbanks...

I have an unused Strip Dominator for a small bock Mopar and have a few questions. What is the power band range on one of these things? From what I did with a short search I think I saw it listed somewhere as being in the 4000-7000 rpm range. Is that true??? I was hoping for something a...

Well, I do have a set of 318 heads from about 79 with about 1500 miles on them. They were milled some when rebuilt because whoever did the work also took material off the port side. I hung on to them but always thought the better flow of the 360 heads was an advantage. Magnum heads are out -...

Thanks, guys. I did this about 25 years ago before the internet and more people that knew things about Mopars were available. At the time I did figure I went from 8.6 to 8.4 like one of you said but didn't realize the other stuff you mentioned. What happened was I was doing an intake/timing...

I did a head swap on my old 76 van a long time ago. I took a 76 318 and added 76 360 heads. The funniest thing was I added a Torker, headers, and 2 1/2" exhaust. It looked and sounded neat but really didn't do much besides suck gas until you wound it out to about 3 grand or so. :shock: I...

Well, I gotta kind of run what I got. :toothy9: I have 5 sets of 340-360 heads collecting dust. I could probably pick up a set of the newer "swirl port" (?) or whatever they're called heads pretty cheap, though, if those would run better and keep the old stuff for a more stock engine, I...

I've been out of Mopars for a few years but have really been following this thread. I like the idea of the 4.25 stroke and the extra cubic inches but it seems like most people will run this setup with aftermarket heads. That's great if you got the bucks but if I spend this kind of money on the...

Yeah, I think I saw it a couple times on Galena last year. I cruise the Ratmobile all the time when I can afford the gas - had it out a couple weeks ago before the big snow hit. :lol: We'll probably run into each other somewhere. :burnout:

Nice sounding engine. :thumbup: Didn't think I'd run into another guy from Dixon here. I think I've seen the car around before - like the color. :lol:
