I've seen (on the internet) crank pulleys painted blue and black - which is correct ? I believe WP pulleys are black , but .............

Just pulled the 340 from a 73 Roadrunner I bought (I know it's a B body, but there's more advice here) ..... anyway, I knew the 73 motor was a wheezer but, lo and behold, I got a '70 block (and hoping internals) , but rest of the assembly (727, heads, exhaust man., intake man., all 73 correct)...

I still have my 70 340 Swinger - but couldn't pass a deal on a 73 Roadrunner - all original 340 car, bone stock except for an Edelbrock 750. Being heavier - and "neutered" in 73 - it's a dog compared to the Dart. I would do a 440 swap, but it's a 95,000 mile original so .... what can I do to get...

So I'm eliminating the adapter - from what I understand I will be removing the threaded filter retainer (circled in "sublime" below:) and this will thread through plate and into block - correct ? I gave it a shot this weekend (!" socket) and couldn't budge it, but wasn't "serious" at the...

This is the second time I'll be re-seating it on the 340 - not sure what gives. right now it leaks right at startup (cold) then it'll back off when engines warmed up - not pretty on my ceramic headers. Any tips/tricks for this time around and/or is there a shorty style filter that'll get in...

So my old 67 had the biscuit style mounts (as I assume they all did) My guess is these did a better job of isolating vibration (rubber) verses the 73 style mounts I have in my car now, which as you know, are solid. Are there any mounts that provide good/better vibration isolation ? With the...

500 miles on new motor - ready to change oil - going to add break-in additive regardless but was wondering if I can go with a quality oil or do I need to stay with Rotella or VR-1 for another cycle ?

Swinger, AAR hood, 340, Air Gap, Avenger carb and the black Mopar air cleaner. I need more clearance to close hood - options ?

Starting to track down parts - what would be the correct radiator for a 70 340 Swinger (4 speed )

I've got maybe three inches in the current (stock) location - do I need to relocate and any thoughts/ideas (TTI's, 340). Thanks fer the help as always.

Have both - preferences ? Mild 340.

We primed the engine about a month ago, prior to installing distributor/wires etc. and completing all else. Do I need to prime again before first time fire-off this weekend ?

Was there only one style air cleaner for the 70 340 Swinger ? This'd be the one right ? Found a decent one for 250.00.

Pretty sure I stripped the temp sensor hole on my Air Gap - guess I'll need to adapt to another spot - any ideas on 1) filling/plugging the existing and 2) relocation ...

Regarding the valley on my 340 - there's two small pins pressed into the front valley and one in rear with corresponding holes in the cork gaskets - I need to pull these out to get proper alignment with the Air Gap - plan on silicone only on front/rear. I'm assuming this is fine ?

68 340 motor - x heads : the five spacers with bolts between rockers is it the two wide ones on either end with the three narrow in the middle OR two narrow spacers on either end and one narrow in the middle. Wouldn't be asking if I could find a decent pic - I think whoever rebuilt this last had...

Rebuild gasket kit cam with oil pan gaskets (rubber ends) that do not have the 6 little "nibs" that go through the holes in the oil pan ends. Can I use the smooth type with silicone or do I need to order one with the nibs ? Last kit I bought had both styles. Also - any tricks to keeping the cork...

I paint my 340 block black ? It'd sure look right with all the other black and green on my Swinger. Nuthin's original or numbers matching - I just don't want to be put in "time out" by the Mopar judges :bootysha::bootysha: Thinking black block, black Mopar valve covers and air cleaner, chrome...

I'm installing TRW L2316 in my 340, )the picture attached is not mine , but shows the same piston installed above deck) mine are .030 above - I'm going to check valve clearance this weekend. Is there a chance I won't need to shave these ? I had the old forged domed 340 pistons in there prior -...

Mines long gone (73 car) - Do I have to run one and if so where to (cannister's long gone, too) What about a filler neck from an earlier Dart that was vented ? Rather not spend the money if there's alternatives. Thanks.

About to purchase a rebuild gasket set (Fel Pro (?)) anything else I may consider as far as individual gasket up-grades (header gaskets, oil pan or valve cover, even heads) I'll take any advise.

Looking for a good gasket set that includes all and has good quality head, intake, etc or will I need to toss some of the gaskets in the trash and buy additional better quality ? Is this a good head gasket while I'm asking ? ...

.030 over 340 - file fit moly rings - TRW forged 10.5:1 flat tops - may add 100hp nitrous shot - thinking .020 top ring/ .024 second from what I can find (.005 per in ) ?

Pistons are L2316 TRW flat tops - installed they're about .035 above deck. I noticed in the Edelbrock build-up in Mopar Muscle with these pistons, they shaved .035 with the Edelbrock heads - I'm assuming giving them around 0 deck height. Anyway, the pistons I'm pulling out are ancient TRW domed...

Was given a set of Mopar moly file fit rings - I'm either going to use them (.030 over) or maybe see what I can sell them for and buy a regular set. How tough is it (and time consuming) to do this yourself with the right tool of course and are they worth it for a street vehicle ?

Before I call Summit ... here's my plan, would you change anything ? '69 340 .030 over (don't know compression yet) X-heads w/mild porting (haven't checked them yet but intend to) Airgap, TTI's, 750 Street Avenger, 3000-3500 stall, auto w/3.91 rear, manual discs, Dart. Looking at the XE274 and...

Currently a .030 over 340 w/mild porting on X heads, XE274 cam, TTI exhaust, Airgap and 770 Holley, auto w/3000 stall , 3.91 gear. For the money spent, will I bolt on and go "wow"?

In my Swinger :.030 over, Air-Gap intake, Street Avenger 770, mild ported X heads and may go Eddys, TTI headers, 3000 stall, 3:91 gears and manual brakes. The XE268 seems highly recommended but can I handle a little more ? Still wanna be street friendly but I want a noticeable lump to it (does a...
