just put a new intake on a few weeks ago, didnt get the back rtv'd enough, oil leak like 15 minutes later, had to do everything all over again. i put the end gaskets on, just to be sure along with the rtv. dave

dont forget about the motor mounts, at least i had to change them from the 318 to 340. dave

anybody wanna give me some advice, im getting alot closer to breaking the engine in. ive heard a few different oils and whatnot. i also heard that the diesel oils dont have the zinc or whatever in them anymore. any additives to use? thanks, dave

thats about the only place i buy my parts. good place.

heres a couple of pics from about a year ago.

thanks, yea its been so hard to find time. i wish i could get some pics up, out camera took a crap on us, but once i get it going i'll try and get some recent pics of it. im so excited, haha. Dave

Finally got the 340 into the barracuda today. Ive been waiting for so long to be able to do it, but my dad has been working, or i've been working when he hasnt. So hes been off of work all week and i had today off, and we got everything ready, and put it in, thought it was gonna rain, but didnt...

alright, i guess i'll just see how it works out, i dont really wanna buy new mounts. thanks again.

When putting a 340 in for the 318, will I need new motormounts? I think I heard I do, but not really sure. Thanks, Dave

Rumblefish, I'm gonna be putting either 3.91s or 4.10s in it hopefully, unless I should go with different ones, if anyone has suggestions on that. I'm taking the block to the machine shop tomorrow, and I still have to go pick up the other J head cuz accidently got a 318 one with it, but the guy...

What would you guys suggest for a cam then for it, doenst have to be Comp, just suggestions cuz I'm still trying to figure out what all I need to order and stuff, then get the head work done and block cleaned up. Thanks for all the advice and I'll make a note of that ring thing.

Well. Right now, its a daily driver, but I'm probably gonna get something a lil better on gas milage, but I'm gonna race it pretty much every weekend I can, also drive it to the track and back. For the street probably shift about 3-4 grand, but racing, just go all out, whatever it'll take. I'm...

My 340 has the "J" heads with it. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do to them. I think they're the 1.88's, I also hear these flow better than the 2.02's on the J's. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

I picked up the 340 today and stripped it all down. It had one 340/360 head, then the other was a 318 one. Then the blocks blue but the date on it is 6-15-71 and it has a steel crank (72-73 maybe?). I think the cam is a 268H. We also brought home the magnum heads, but we're not sure if we're...

So I'm picking up the 340 this weekend I think, but its not gonna have the magnum heads, just the stock ones, but I'm not sure what the valve sizes are yet. So any more suggestions or just stick with alot of this advice? Thanks

If I get the block and heads, I'm thinking of maybe boring it out, cuz I'll have to get new pistons and stuff, what would you guys say on that? 30 or 60 over or what? Thanks alot again, my dads helping and stuff, but we dont really know alot about the magnum heads. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna look into it and see what I can do. Wouldnt it be better with the dome pistons? but i'm not sure since you said they'd have to be shaved down for the magnum heads, so is that why I should look into flat top ones? Thanks again.

I have a 67 Barracuda with a 318 and 4 speed. Are there any suggestions for a 340 buildup nothing to expensive or anything, and a good runner, like 13's or so. I would have the 340 block and magnum heads, will these work on that? Thanks
