Hi there. Sorry... I am not going to be of too much help only as the TTi headers fit with no issues (asides from the bolt heads being extremely tight to the tubes) for the 340 in my 73 cuda. But I did want to say that if you find your exhaust hanging really low (it drove me nuts for over 3...

Yeah... kept thinking and thinking and thinking about one. For now I put the adapter back in and even now just tightening everything up and talk about a bugger to get into. Oh well... adapter is on... filter is on. I put just a touch of Ultra Black on the 90 degree adapter and waiting for it...

Hi folks... Couldn't resist posting on this as I have a 73 Cuda with a 340 and 727 trans. With edelbrock RPM heads and TTi headers, there is absolutely no way to get the oil filter out the bottom. I just spent the last hour thinking how I could position my 90 degree adapter and could I get...

Thanks folks!!! I was thinking that's what I should do, but I was questioning myself.

I am just switching over to an Edelbrock Pro Flo system and as a result have bought an Aeromotive 340 tank with in tank fuel pump. What's the best place to run the power line to the fuel pump? Through the firewall and inside then through the trunk? Or down along the brake lines on the frame...

Finally got it. Tried lifting and setting it 10 times... nope. Sat back... poured a rum... and went WTF. Figured... one side us perfect so I undud the mounts to the block so they were completely loose and put it down again. Motor mounts fit perfectly then. Could thread the bolts through by...

How come as teenagers we seemed to do all kinds of dumbass things that seemed to work just fine????

Well thats the annoying part of this all. It's the same motor mounts from when the motor was in the car. All I did do was tighter to the block this time. But I suspect that you have to be right as it's the only thing that makes sense.

Good day folks.... Tried to get 340 into the cuda and for some reason, I cannot get the passenger motor mount to come down the extra 1/2" that's needed. The driver side went in with no problems. Anybody else run into this issue before and what did you do? I mounted the mounts to the block...

Approximately what you need to cut ooff and thread...

I went with the milodon windage tray only because the factory one sits so low in a Milodon low pro oil pan that the windage tray almost sits on the oil pan ledge itself. The milodon stud mounting kit turned out to be the BIGGEST CLUSTER F$$$ that you can ask for. I got a flat bottom tap...

Ok. Oil pickup goes deeper. Just have to keep working it an eighth of a turn then back. But the oil pump itself is definitely hitting (not the main bolts) the inside of the hole. I did read for some Chevy models to put the oil pump in the freezer for 2 hours to cool it but that's for when...

I just got my Meiling HV pump for my 340 rebuild and when I check the fit, it sits about a 1/16" above the #5 cap. I am assuming that the oil pump should sit flat. So do I need to take a grinder to the block or the neck of the pump to make it fit? Secondly, how many threads should the oil...

Yep... they are coming sooner or later from Summit.

The high volume clears either I think... I couldn't tell because after 5 months waiting on a Meilling HV pump from Summit, it came with a cracked neck. So pretty bummed out as I type this.
