    340 turbo questions.

    remember here.... there are differences in Piston alloys used in "Forged" Pistons ? Most Stroker Kits use a 4032 Alloy Forged Pistons..... Most Manufacturers DO NOT recommend any more than 6 lbs Boost on their 4032 Piston Alloys ? just saying.... before contemplating ANYTHING in the way of...

    Nitrous Cam

    First off... was the Engine designed for Nitrous useage initially when built ? with things like 2618 Alloy Forged Pistons ? and hone-fit with enough extra Piston to Wall clearance for the Nitrous ? with sufficient added Top Ring Endgap for Nitrous ? Unless you are contemplating only the very...

    Old School Balonies

    I'm an old guy, so I went "old school" on the tire/rims, to FILL the Wheelwells up. I Never liked the BIG WHEEL thing personally anyways, No matter, my 700 hp Pump Gas 422 Inch small block NEEDS Traction with the larger Balonies for straight line stuff, so I went with 29 X 12.5 X 15...

    Procharger I'm currently building a R3 sb Block based 422 for a Customer, using Indy Heads and an F1 ProCharger, pretty simple build really. What is it you wish to know ? Why not just phone ProCharger yourself ?

    440 Ideal quench

    IMO, The Compression INCREASE going to the Steel Shim gasket, UP to approx 10.3:1, would be too high to remain compatible with pump gas. It amounts to another 1/2 point of Compression ratio, because the Steel Shims are approx .020" thick, or roughly .020" thinner than the .038" FelPro's...

    bought some heads for my challenger

    IMO, the above is sound advice that is based upon real experience. I could not agree more...very well put ! yep, there are better size chambers, yep, there are better heads, and more conduscive Valve sizes for 318's(1.88's) and you know what else ? there3 always will be that said, my low-pop...

    440 to hemi converson

    The Stage V conversion heads for 440's require alot of work, been there, done this many times for Customers. Not that Eric's packages/Heads aren't good..they ARE ! Just that the work required these days, with HEMI's available, IMO, just aint worth it. here's just a few things to consider; * Oil...

    440 Ideal quench

    With that Camshaft installed straight up(no advance) it should run fine on pump fuel(92 Octane) if your 906 heads are around 88 CC's as most are. 450hp or so ballpark, maybe more depending upon the portwork, but very close to.. or just above ..500 ft/lbs Torque. I would not sweat the quench on...

    lifter Oil Gallery Plugs - Question

    I always use the plugs, no silicone. The plugs should only be installed "flush" with the front of the block.

    440 mopar Roller cam advice

    BEST advice here, if you are going Lunati, is as mentioned to Call Steve or Jeff DIRECTLY, or, speak to an Actual Cam Engineer, BEFORE ordering, and tell them EXACTLY what you want with the "power" criterion, if that is paramount in your wishes ? Personally, I cannot see a Vacuum problem with...

    headgasket??

    It got cold enough, to pop ALL of your Frost Plugs ? Now, you have coolant in the Oil ? Imo, I would be checking very carefully, to see if the Block is cracked from freezing ? and easy to check.... If no external leaks, then the next most common area for the blocks to crack and leak...

    440 tuning

    You can replace the power Valves, hook up a Vacuum gauge, and pull timing ahead until you achieve the highest "steady" reading on the vacuum gauge without fluctuation. Then, test drive, and load test it for "ping", backing timing 2* at a time until good. If that doesn't work, you can simply...

    440 advice

    Check the Compression distance on the "rebuilder" Pistons FIRST before you do anything else, if thats what you have in it from the previous rebuild ? or, did they just re-ring and keep the 1970 Pistons ? The reason being, most of the aftermarket rebuilder flat tops,(if thats what you have?) are...

    1972 Challenger 340-3 Speed factory - 4 Now

    Yeah, I'm confused as well ? Looks like a very Decent & Complete Restorable Car ? Is the 340 the Serial #'s Matching original Engine to the Car, or, a substitute 340 ? Did you keep all the original 3 spd trans stuff ? According to Galen Govier, 346 manual trans 340 Challengers in '72, the...
