Looks like the vin he posted is a 71. side rail is 1B423228 Matt

I run Amsoil Zrod oil with a wix fliter in my old cars and have nothing bad at all to say about it. I also run Amsoil 15w40 diesel oil in my cummins truck with there filter. I guess everyone has there own idea of what oil to run and that seems to be mine. You have to watch as alot of synthetic...

Wow that is all I can say.....That did show 7400 rpms correct? Matt

I did not know that Brad Pitt was making oil.......... I have heard of Brad Penn green oil. LOL I am like other I have ran both 10W30 and 20W50 in different applications, but I do think running a good oil with a high level of zinc is a very smart thing to do on theses older flat tappet cammed...

I just can't see how you would build the suspension heavy enough to handle it.... Matt

Yep thats the way I heard it to! Altough I use to spend quite a bit of time chasing pussy , and seldom caught one.............Seems they must run pretty good in hind sight.........LOL! Matt

I did not think I would ever hear those words........ LOL! Put it together and you'll have no troble finding your weak link! Matt

You might try the KB107 pistons from Kieth Black. I have heard alot of goo things about them. They will get your compression up with an open chamber head. http://www.kb-silvolite.com/test/kb_car/performance.php?action=search&mfg=Chrysler&EngSize=360&RodLen=6.123 Hope this helps you. Matt

I ran into the same thing while changing the timing set in my 65 coronet wagon with a 361 . I installed it just like it cam out. When you get it installed and roll the crank over one rotation the cam will be at the 6 o clock postion and the crank should be at the 12 o clock postion. As the crank...

This may be obvious , but you can always try Brewers performance if needed. They have helped me with a few odd things for 4 speed related parts. I have also had good luck with them. Matt

I believe that the 72 year model was when the compression was dropped. The 71 engines would have still been the high horsepower engines. Matt

looks like the first 340 was assembled on Jan.26 1971- "3469" and the other in the dodge looks like assembled on Oct.3 1969- "2989" and it is the one with the 70 vin number on it. I believe this is correct and i hope this helps you. Matt

I agree they are to help degree your cam in properly. Matt

Me to, it's the new English language......... Its called a text message.......... LOL! Matt

http://www.southeastrt.com/catalog/index.php?cat=24&item=185 Here is a website that tells the different pushrod lengths. Matt

I used these in my 340 with 273 rockers and solid lifters. They were the same length as the stock 273 pushrods I had and worked out great. P4529541 Since mopar has not made these in a while its sort of hard to come by. Matt

If I am not mistaken its 7.34 - 7.35 BTW i have a factory 273 pushrod if you need one let me know. Matt

I have already done the break in procedure on the engine and everything seemed to go well. It's now time to rest to the timing and bump it up alittle. Matt

Thank you crackedback! Matt

Do you have an idea of what kind of total timing I am looking for? Also if I add 8 degrees to it do you think it will still rum on 93 octane without any problems? BTW thanks for the help! Matt

Well i am going to set the timing on my new engine, and i was wondering an idea of a good place for total timing and initial timing would be? Its set at 10 degree intial now. The motor is a 340 .040 over with stock 68-70 trw l2316 pistons that are about 10.0-1 or 10.5-1 , stock x heads, headers...

If I am not mistaken the MP stamped steel rockers have more meat in the pushrod cup to aid in the bigger cams and higher rpm's. Might try you a set of those to see if that cures the problem. Just my 2 cents. Matt

Might try the Mopar performance stamped steel rockers. I think they are made of thicker better material, and are made for bigger cams. These are also made to keep you from pushing a hole in the pushrod cup. Atleast worth lookin into if yours are the stock pieces. Matt

Thanks for the replies guys! I will give them a try. Its a hard thing to overcome leaky headers, so I hope a good gasket does the trick. matt

If there is such a thing? What is the best sealing header gasket for stock port small block 340? Please let me know what you think. Matt

Well, I got the OL Gal to start about 10:30 last night. I bet the neighbors loved me after breaking in the cam for 20 min. at 1800rpm. At least i had the mufflers on it and not open headers LOL! IT did well as for the first start up I had a wire broken into on the positve side of the coil, but...

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, they are cal custom valve covers. I really like the look of those valve covers. Matt

NOt sure the type of headers that is on it as they were on it when I bought it. As for the break in oil I Have got Joe Gibbs break in oil in it, so that should take care of it. I also have the cam lathered up good, so I hope its good shape. Matt

Always like to stay conservative on my horsepower numbers, that way I might be suprised. Matt

The chrome ones seem to never stop leaking. Check it for any pitts and use a small amount of sealant on both parts with your gasket. Might help you, but if it a chrome one get you an original one and paint it, as I never keep a chrome one from leaking. Just my 2 cents. Matt
