I guess I did end up with an oddball either way haha. I'm going to pull the heads today and I'll report my findings, hoping for good bores and Pistons so I can re ring it and go!
Now that I look at it closer I see what you're talking about! It looks like there's almost a very faint 3 4 0 under the heavy 318 stamping. I agree the 318 stamp is unusually heavy compared to the rest of the Lettering and other engines I've seen.
I'll try to get a better picture of it tomorrow. My honest thought was that somebody in charge of stamping these things at the factory might have screws up, thinking this engine was a 318 when in fact it's actually a 340. I think that's more likely than an underbored 340 block. I'll be pulling a...
I haven't measured the bore on it yet, really wasn't looking to pull the heads but I definitely don't want to build this engine thinking it's a 340 when in fact it's a factory screw up and they bored it to 318 specs. Does the casting on a raw 340 actually have larger bores than a 318 before...
i just acquired a 1969 340 engine. It strikes me as kind of an oddball and I would like verification that it is in fact a 340 and not a 340 block that was bored to 318 specs by the factory. The casting on the driver's side of the block clearly reads 2780930-340-5 which to me denotes a 340...
Hey man, car looks great! Really awesome to see it out of Larry's yard and being restored. I'm the guy who you saw at the Shell station in Canaan with the black 73 charger se. Keep up the progress!
Looking for a passenger side chrome racing mirror for my 73 charger. Also need the passenger side dash vent panel or block off panel that goes above the glove box and has the vents on AC cars. Could probably use a wiper switch with knob because I think mine is bad and I'm also interested in any...
Yeah the shaft looks fine. I'll swap the shafts tomorrow and see if it changes. Since the pushrods are all turning that pretty much gets rid of the possibility of a wiped cam correct?
I took the valve cover off and put my ear next to the rocker arms while it was running and I seemed to have narrowed it down to the number 4 intake rocker arm. It's loudest right above it. I may try swapping the rocker shaft with one from the engine that I took out of the car, it couldn't hurt I...
I've checked for manifold leaks and its sealed up good, plus it makes noise when I'm off the throttle coasting. I marked all the pushrods on the side that's making noise and every one of them is spinning, some really slow and some really fast but they're all moving. The rocker that seems to be...
I picked up a 318 for a good deal to replace the worn out 318 in my 73 charger. The engine had a 340 cam in it supposedly but it looked a bit flat so I removed it and installed a summit cam with .454 lift along with new lifters, timing set, and standard volume oil pump. I coated the cam and...
Do you have a driver's side front wheel bearing/hub assembly? I need one for my 69 charger, someone put an a body hub on my car so it's the wrong bolt pattern. Thanks.
I need a set of mirrors for my 1973 charger. I have a set from a 1972 but after buying them I found out they were different. I'd be willing to trade someone for a set of the newer style mirrors or just pay out right for them. Let me know what you have, thanks!
I need the power steering pump and brackets for my charger. Everything from the pump to the lines and brackets is missing so if someone has a complete assembly they would sell I'd be interested. I also need a 3 groove crank pulley to match my 3 groove water pump pulley since I currently have a...
I finally got my charger running and almost ready to drive around the block for the first time. I'm having trouble with the brake line routing and the car is missing the proportioning valve so I have a couple questions. First, is it a combined proportioning/distribution valve or are they...
