Thanks for your post. Yes, if someone has that car they would love to obtain that paperwork.

Thanks guys. So here are the photos of that area. Looks like the block has been "plugged" properly and the two bolt gaskets are in the correct spot. Final question, do you use any sealant or soak the cork gasket with something like WD40 in a similar fashion as carb gaskets, or does the cork...

Got the gasket set from Mancini for the 90 degree oil filter adapter. It has the cork gasket which I assume goes on the bolt between the block and adapter. And the thin one goes between the attachment bolt and adapter. Seems strange to have that cork gasket inside there. I now discovered that a...

Take 1 was a mistake on my part. I had mic'd the crank before ordering bearings. Crank was standard. Ordered standard main and standard rod bearings. Had a shop clean the block and crank, and then they installed the crank for me. They turned the crank mains and rods 10 under. Didn't tell me...

The 340 +30 is going back together. Finally.....

I am VERY disappointed. Of all the Dudes and Military Veterans on this site, and not one rude/sarcastic comment about rear height??? Tisk, tisk....

Nice looking hot rods. Welcome aboard. Love the burgundy interior of the Rambler.

Does finish it off nicely.

Welcome.

I heard he had nerves of steel and a very magnetic personality.

Flawless install. Very nice!

A good friend gifted me an almost brand new set of Molnar H Beam connecting rods for my 340. I noticed it does not have an oiling hole out the side that would align with the hole in the rod bearing. Something I'm missing?

No metal ring on my 73 Chally.

Classic Industries has the 15" Rallye wheels if that is what you are looking for. That's where I got my "spare".

Yep. I just read that in the instructions. I'll follow it to a T. Thanks for the heads up.

I hear ya. Chevron (I use loyalty points) has by default 91 octane "blue" fuel that is running about $2.55 per gallon here. As little as I plan driving it, really not a hugh cost savings. No biggie. Pistons and rings show up today - Life is good!

That was an unknown plus after leaving California for Idaho. Ethanol free 91 octane gas is readily available here. And in reality, I'll probably be closer to 10:1 after running the numbers.

I went with the Keith Black pistons from Summit. They will be here Friday. Sweet! Thanks - John.

Boring my 340 block .30 over. I have a stock forged crank (being turned .10), forged stock connecting rods, full floating wrist pins, and Edelbrock RPM Performer aluminum heads. I'm going with a roller cam & lifters, and roller rockers this time. I will not be racing this car and do not plan to...

Been there, done that. Beautiful Lancaster County!
