I think I put the crankshaft in upside down, does anyone know if J.C. Whitney or others have a kit to remedy this issue while the engine is still in the car?

I have a jam-up and jelly-tight 340 duster that I'm about to unlease on the universe, but first I have this oil pan question, which is this; does this engine have the same oil pan as 318?. It seems as though the sump pickup is about 3/4" deeper than the pan so it won't fit horizontal on the...

someone mentioned that the rocker shaft on my 340 has special bolts for the oil galley that supplies oil to the shaft (second pillar back on the driver side, second pillar forward from the fire wall on the passenger side) that these bolts ( that tie down the oil shaft) are either hollow or are...

Forgot to ask, my milk chocolate oil after cranking a new engine, could the color also be causd by running the oil pump/drill priming tool for an extended time and maybe it aerated the oil?

after cranking the new engine, I thought it would be a good idea to cahnge out the oil. When I drained it , it loookd like milk chocolate ( no I didn't try to drink it, or put milk chocolate it the engine to start) . Could the moly grease I used to build the engine cause it to have this color?

If I can't get oil pressure up after priming the pump, what else could be the cause? The oil pump is new, could it be bad (i.e. pressure relief valve? Could the machinest not have cleaned the oil gallies and they are plugged? Is it possible that the main bearing is installed incorrrectly and the...

I built the 340 for my Duster by the book, got the special tool to prime the oil pump before i installed the engine, rotated it with a drill and got oil out of the sender hole in the block like expected. Six months later I put the engine in, crank over the engine with the starter about a dozen...

I'm about to put my new performer 2176 intake on top of my 340 and i realize that i don't know what goes to all of the bosses drilled in it. Most of the intakes only have a couple on the front end of the intake and this thing has 5! does anyone have experience with these intakes? if so, that...
