    Belt guidance

    Just to be sure that you know - using that factory non-AC water pump pulley will realign your belt grooves for the system that is shown in post #18 - the water pump and alternator on the crank groove toward the engine and the Power steering on a belt of its own in the crank groove toward the...

    340 motor mount orientation

    Look at the mount shape in post#7 (which is correct) compared to the picture of yours. I agree that there is something hinky (that's a technical term...) about yours compared to the NOS mounts that I have on the shelf.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    The fact that it has dual exhaust will boost what you get from the swap. The engine is an air pump. If the exhaust is restricted (stock single exhaust) the higher the rpms, the more it make a difference. The intake and exhaust work together for the best gain from each. I would bet 20hp at...

    Oil dipstick full mark

    MP dipsticks come as a matched set with tube and stick. OP is absolutely correct that the distance out of the block is the operative question as the level of oil below the crank is the issue. But with unknown parts sources it is possible to have a mismatched tube and stick, and yes tube length...

    OOPS, yes 800 AVS2... Since the secondaries open on demand it wouldn't be too much.

    Cheap 318 performance mods.

    send a pm to Halifaxhops here on FABO - he's right there in PA. He does a great job of checking out, repairing (if needed) and recurving your distributor. Wait until you figure out what all you want to do and send him the details on the engine, gears, etc and how you want to use the car and he...

    318 gurus/historians

    first thing I would do is put a dual plane 4bbl intake on it. With dual exhaust and 360 heads, that motor is just begging for it and the results will be significant.

    LD4B Intake question

    I am curious, how did you get the intake ports on the LD4B to seal on the taller 340 ports? I have a couple LD4Bs and it seems there really isn't enough meat above the runner port to effect a good seal on a 340 Port. Have you run this engine yet???

    Question on parts value

    Remember you only need one buyer... Don't sell it cheap if you're going to be kicking yourself every time you think about it down the road How long have you already held onto this stuff? An ideal buyer would be someone restoring a race car to as raced condition from the era when W-5 stuff was...

    Question on parts value

    The parts that you offer are very specialized and probably worth what you ask or more to the right buyer. Most folks here are working on cars that they drive, or a restored car that they show, for even occasional racers this is more than they need. You might look at advertising on a more racer...

    Does a '69 air cleaner look wrong on a '70 Dart Swinger 340

    70-71 air cleaners are pricey, but not that pricey. I saw 3 or 4 at Carlisle last year for $4-500 depending on how much work was needed. The key to looking good (IMHO) is a nice new pie tin on top, even if the air cleaner isn't exactly the right year. This one is on my 1970 Dart GT, and the...

    How much trouble am I in?

    ten years is a long time, lots of hot and cold cycles to form condensation in the block, even taped up for that long doesn't mean no air coming in and out.

    New heads

    I got heads for a 318 from Aerohead - a division of Indy, that came complete with 360 (1.88 valves in new seats) for very good price a few years ago. These were rebuilt factory 318 iron heads.

    Lifter preload...more or less?

    Call Smith Brothers in Oregon. Tell them what you have, ask their advice and get them to make a set of push rods that are just where you want them (where they say they should be). It doesn't take them long. I just got a set for my 340, took less than 2 weeks, price wasn't bad and I know I...
