    Bad Vibrations

    So we fired up the "new" 340 today. Have a slight vibration at idle. My buddy who is helping me with the install automatically says its the flexplate. Its a externally balanced 340/904 combo with a neutral convertor. I ordered the right one, b&m 10235 for sure. Any ideas would be great ...

    R5/P7 Small block

    Has anyone looked into this? A friend has got me wondering if I should investigate the possibilities of building one of these for may 71 Dart. Parts are cheap since dodge pulled out of NASCAR. He bought a set of heads and an intake for $900. He is building one for a Road Runner with a 750hp...

    High idle problem

    I was reluctant to post this question because I feel like an idiot but after swapping my intake I cant get this car to idle below 1500 rpm, Ive checked for vacuum leaks and it seems to be good, set the timing to where the car starts perfectly (like it did before the swap) and played with the...

    Swirl Port heads

    In my search for some 318 swirl port heads I have come across two castings. A 302 casting as well as a 714 casting. What's the difference? I am hearing mixed messages. So I ask the people that know . These will be going on a 71 LA motor.:profilel:

    340 exhaust manifolds

    I just removed the exhaust manifolds and exhaust system from the 318 in my 71 dart. I am installing 340 HP manifolds and a TTI exhaust system. I see there are no gaskets on these 318 manifolds. Should I be using somthing with the 340 manifolds or just bolt them on. If I should use gaskets, which...

    71 340 J heads

    71 340 J heads (2.02 intake) on a 71 318, yes or no. Would i be better off to put stock 360 intake valves ,1.88 into the 318 heads? I can get a good deal on the 340 heads which will bolt on with no work but I am told the 2.02s are over kill for the 318. O ya forgot, cam change is a given.

    I screwed up, question

    I finally got my 65 dart ready for a trip to the exhaust shop. All buttoned up and ready to go. I guess when I installed the oil filter adaptor it was not tight enough, done incorrectly. WELL now I have oil that is supposed to be in the pan (all of it), on my driveway. The driveway is fixed with...

    coolant drain

    I am pulling the intake and heads off my 273. Should I be taking out the drain plugs in the block or should pulling the lower rad hose be good enough. I've never drained a block thru the plugs but Im told it;s a lot less mess. My car is already up on jack stands , ready to get-at-er.

    Intake end gaskets

    Anyone use the cork end gaskets on a SB intake swap or just use silicone. I have not done one in a long time but I think I always used the gaskets in the set.....now I am hearing it's trouble (vacuum/oil leaks).

    302 casting swirl port heads

    I may have asked you guys this in the past,but, I am thinking of picking up some 302 casting 318 heads (swirl ports) out of an 86 New yorker rather then getting my 273 heads re done. These have the right valve size so no need for notching the block. Questions are, will my push rods work or do I...

    Swirl Port heads

    I am thinking about grabbing a set of 302 Swirl port heads for my 273 instead of having the 273 heads rebuilt. Couple of questions: 1. a member tells me they will drop right onto my 273 without notching the cylinders. Not that I doubt him but I have heard different because of the larger valves...
