You need to take advantage of newer hydraulic roller cams. You will put your cylinder heads closer to peak air flow numbers. I always try to match cylinder head max air flow with cam lift. Use duration to put the engine in the desired rpm range.

@@BuzzLOLOL you are wrong. rpm heads in stock form flow 240cfm @ .500” lift and 250cfm @ .600” lift. Setup was over 10.5:1 so duration was not too much, also its a small block and still made peak power pretty low in rpm range. If this was solid cam, and good adjustable rocekrs were used results would have been much better. Also I believe 750cfm is what factory put on 340. I have experience building 340ci small blocks and usually use 850cfm carb with good ported heads and bigger cam.

LOL So the cam changed and so did the carb, from the parameters that you gave us. It is what it is. Like a lot of us, I was screaming at the vid, 1" spacer under the carb !! The 2 plane intake was killing the power number. I was sure when the camera went to the carb gaskets and spacers, that you had seen the light LOL. Single plane intakes with good carb and spark tuning, can make very good bottom end without killing the top. It's all in the combination. Great persistance!

@@BuzzLOLOL Those factory rockers are only 1.45 range and with the .525 lift FTH camshaft he is lucky to have .493 by my math. SB Mopars lose .010 lobe lift because the lifter and pushrod is not in the same plane. A 1.6 rocker would get him there, he isn't using the heads .

@donellmuniz590 3 года назад

@donellmuniz590 3 года назад

If your timing and jetting changes aren't making any difference in power, the choke point in the system is elsewhere. That means there's a restriction somewhere. Those heads should be good to about 425 hp, and so should the intake. So you might need more cam, or 1.6 roller rockers for a bit more lift, or 1 and 7/8ths headers, or less preload on the hydraulic lifters. Maybe shim the valvesprings .020 or so to delay valve float. Just my thoughts.

Too big of cam already... Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's... I predicted 435 HP and 415 lb.-ft., was close on torque but Eddy heads let us down on HP... those heads don't flow enough to match up well with that too big 245 degrees duration at .050" lift '500+ HP' cam !!!

@hondaelsinore1974 3 года назад

A ported LD340 intake with the plenum mod and you would have over 400 HP. I built a .030 over 340, TRW L2316F pistons, Edelbrock 6017 heads, 528" solid Mopar purple shaft cam and the forementioned LD340 intake with a Holley 750 DP. 408 HP.

I still remember my first experience with a 340, back in 1979 my uncle bought a 318 with a 4 barrel carb for his dodge pickup truck. He told me he couldn't believe how much better it ran with a 4 barrel carb and new engine. I was a teenager and just learning, I asked him what the engine came out of and he said that old Duster behind the garage, I went and looked and it was a 70 340 duster! I told him it wasn't a 318 it was a 340! He kept that truck for year's, I wish I'd got it before he traded it off! Great to see the 340 hit those numbers Nick! Still good numbers!Thanks for sharing!

@donellmuniz590 3 года назад

Even if it came from a 340 Duster, it might not be the original engine for that car. Someone may have kept the 340 and thrown in a 318 before selling the car. The only way to know for sure is to read the side of the block, above the freeze plugs. All SB and BB Mopars have the ci cast right into the block, as well as the casting date.

@musclecarmitch908 3 года назад

@@donellmuniz590 your correct, I hadn't learned how to identify them yet back then neither did my uncle. You can also get the numbers just below the head on the front of the engine block on the left drivers side.

I remember saying 440 six pack numbers that was 390 "factory"...lol..395 is pretty good though I am sure there is a little more in it . maybe a spacer on carb port heads a little more maybe...395.8 nothing to sneeze at in my opinion...💪👌👍✌️

@tonyunderwood9678 3 года назад

Video's followup comments: re- rocker shaft shims and lower temps... I can maybe see the shims taking a tiny bit of load off the engine with the minute difference in spring pressure... MAYBE... but I'd expect the lifters to pump up and make up for the slight difference. I'd wager that the lower temps and extra break-in time would have loosened things up a bit to help pick up 3-4 hp after a few more pulls.

Temp probes at the intake ports and an adjustable venturi to get the coldest air fuel at the port

@peterflakeshan3898 3 года назад

Hi Nick, If you'd put a 1" tapered open spacer under the carb you'd hit your 400 target. The open spacer will give more top end to the HP curve when used with a Edelbrock RPM air gap.

@aarongrabowski3775 3 года назад

Chrome valve covers will get you that little bit of extra horsepower to get you to the 400 your looking for.

@NicksGarage 3 года назад

Definitely.

@peterwright4647 3 года назад

I knew Nick wouldn’t rest until he hit 400! Wondering if you can share shimming details - what side of the rocker did you shim, and does the shimming only work for that style rocker/push rod?

@donellmuniz590 3 года назад

In this day and age, if you believe the magazines and tv shows, 400 hp should be a piece of cake. But I'm sure the owner wants it to have decent manners, driveability, good vacuum, etc. More cam might mess that up. But those new Trick Flow 190cc heads should be good for another 30 or 40 hp, with no penalty other than cost. And it's a shame the guy didn't request a stroker crank. A 408 will stomp a 340 every time.

Pour moi le juge de paix d'une préparation c'est le banc de test. Certains préparateurs annoncent des 400 ou 500 chevaux juste en montant des pièces sans aucun test faute de banc. Ca me faisait rire, mais quand je vois les tests, les réglages .... ta vidéo Nick a finit de poser les règles du jeu. J ai le même petit moteur dans ma dart et j ai maintenant une idée de ce qu il peut sortir ! Bravo super test. Jim
