Just couldn't pass her up. Right price, although will definitely be a LONG TERM project. lol Pics are a bit dark but that is when she was delivered.

Little by little we're getting this beast done.

What to do? Engine is 68 340 with Mopar Performance alum. water pump. The ps pump from the 63 doesn't fit (brackets issue) and the one off an 86 318 fits but the pulley is about 1/16 to 1/8 inch off (sticks out further than water pump pulley.) New pump? Different brackets?

So if ya have been following the recent issues I've been having with the break-in of the new motor, ya know it hasn't been going well. Overheating has been a big problem. Yes, we nearly killed the engine. We had a timing issue (which has been corrected since we did get the thing to run long...

Suggestions anyone?? Got thru only 10 minutes of engine break in last week and thought the thermostat was bad. Coolant spewed everywhere out the blowout. This weekend cleaned everything up, hooked up temp gauge, refilled coolant, checked everything for leaks and fired it up without a...

Finally got to the point where we were ready to fire up the new 340. Primed engine according to instructions (spinning/cranking, etc.), hooked up the tach & oil pressure gauge. All fluids filled, gas good, poured about 1/4 gas into new carb and turned the key...

How difficult is it to do? Can it be done at home vs. taking the car somewhere? I have the glass, will need to buy the weatherstrip. What say ye? Car is 73 Dart Sport.

So while I'm still waiting on parts to arrive and the transmission to be done, I'm just droolin' over this engine. Can't wait to see it in the car!

I stopped in the local paint store yesterday for some primer/surfacer and learned something I had not considered. For those of you who are doing paint work yourselves and are using the standard half-mask (charcoal type) the guy said to store that mask in a sealed bag. Don't just do what I do...

Picked up the 340 a couple weeks ago and the engine shop primed it right before I picked it up. I intended to put it in that weekend; however, due to some transmission issues and other stuff it didn't get done. How long can it sit on the engine stand in the garage before I need to reprime it...

So I try not to overreact when things don't go well with my restoration/modifications; however, I am a chick and it really goes against the grain to not have a meltdown sometimes. Of course I do ask for these "issues" to come up because I'm not building "normal" stuff. Yesterday I had...

Hey Guys & Gals, Haven't been on here in a while and thought I'd post some pics of the 73 Dart Sport project as it has progressed. Still working hard at putting everything back together. Door locks and handles & all the weatherstripping (roof rails, etc.) are next. Not looking forward to the...

Hi All, Just wondering if any of you have had experience working with Hensley Performance in Knoxville and would you recommend them? I already know they'll be pricey, but I want the work done right and there's so much I cannot do myself. :dontknow: Thanks, Pam

Well guys and gals I picked up a 340 yesterday from someone selling locally including trans and rear end and began disassembly today. Wow what a messy project! Anyway, I'm happy as a clam and sufficiently covered in 30+ year old grease and grime. I'll post pics of the new (old) engine soon so...

I'm trying to decode a junk Duster to determine what engine it originally had in it and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. This is a junk car with no engine but it has a rear end in it and may be the size I want, but the trouble is tjat it is in a junk yard (think grass as tall as a...
