Took my block to the machinist and there was pitting in one cylinder after it was bead blasted and magged that didn't quite clean up with an .030 overbore. He said it would be almost negligible after honing but there would be a very minor pencil tip size pit left. An .040 overbore would...

Looking to stroke a 340 and was wondering if the stroker kits come basically with .000 deck clearance or if the pistons stick up out of the hole like a stock 340. Wanted to use closed chambered heads so it makes a difference. Anybody do this already that would share some info??? I will most...

Is it true that a stock 340 has the piston at TDC about .018" out of the hole??? And if so are you limited to just 340 heads or will any small block heads work??

Bought a car with a set up 340 in it. What's the best way to disassemble?? Pull heads off and let soak with Marvel Mystery Oil or something like that. One guy told me ATF. I'm in no hurry. I know it'll have to be totally gone over and everything checked. What are best choices??

Did these come from the factory with black wrinkle paint??

Is this feasable?? I have a 360 short block all ready to go except for heads. I just picked up a Formula S 340 Barracuda that the motor is set up in. Don't know if the block is any good. Would these work on the 360 without modifications. I know they will bolt on but the 340 and 360 have some...

I have a 360 short block with 9.5:1 JE forged pistons. Don't know what heads I'm going to use yet. I have a comp .242/.248 @ .050, .570/.576 lift cam but am figuring this is a bit much for a 360. What cam would you put in it?? I saw in Mopar Muscle mag they put a Thumper in an 8.8:1 compression...

I bought a bunch of stuff and got some things I don't know exactly what they are. I have new valve springs that I have no clue what they are except they are Racer Brown. Do I take them to be pressure tested?? Will it be worth the cost?? Also push rods. How do you measure them? End to end or does...

What do you guys think of the Indy LA X cast iron heads?? Better than Edelbrocks??

So damned confused as to what to do. What if I just bought a stock set of Edelbrocks to put on my 408 stroker, Comp 242/248 @.050, .570/.576 solid roller cam, 10:1 compression, Mopar 6 pack mechanical set up. Is this combo any good or too mismatched??? And what kind of horsepower would I be...

Just wondering what is a safe overbore on a 360 block. Do all the things like what year block, core shift, etc come into play, or is .060 safe on any 360? I have that race block bored .060 but filled to within 1 1/2" to 2" to the top in the water jackets and have corresponding stroker kit to...

Bought a package deal. 360 short block. Another 360 block stroker clearanced with a .060 stroker kit. Also has a 242/248 @.050 .570/.576 solid roller cam and lifters with it. I have a 6 pack set up to go with whichever one I build. Need heads. And also which would you build?? 414??? What would...

I just bought a 360 shortblock and a .060 over 360 block stroker clearenced and set up to be a 414 ci monster but it has a half fill in the water jackets. Is this a race only block or could it be used in a street car?? Cooling issues maybe?? I was guessing race only. Am I right? I'd love to...

Went to an engine builder with a machine shop today. He told me he could build me a 360 with tight to 500 hp. Probably 485-490 for $4500 if I supplied the core. All parts baked, blasted and magnafluxed. Stock cast crank (shotpeened), stock rods redone (told me 360 rods are awesome), rotating...

I know in the 340 engine the piston sits about .018 out of the block at tdc. Does the same thing happen with the stroker piston or is the pin height moved so its zero deck clearance or is it down in the hole or still at negative deck clearance???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Woody.

Building a 340 6 pack 67 Barracuda with 4 speed and 8 3/4 4.10 posi rear. 340 has been bored .030, decked, new cam bearings, freeze plugs etc. 10:1 pistons with stock bottom end (steel crank turned on rods and mains). Has factory x heads that need to be redone, or new Eddy's or something else...

I have a 69 340, bored 30 over, 10-1 pistons, 6 pack set up, stock steel crank turned .010 on rods and mains with stock x heads. Need to figure what cam to put in with this set up. I plan on running 1 5/8 headers and 2 1/2 or 3" exhaust, it's a 4 speed set up with an 8 3/4 posi rear. Has 3:23's...
