I did get one for my 341 from Contrerras. 282 X .474" with 112 lobe centers. The base circle was very small and I ended up having to mill off the...
I'm getting closer. The plumbing is done and now the wiring is getting done. I know it's not old, but maybe someone will like it I hope.
Got the old Desoto 341 into the car and on the ground. Now for the wiring, paint, and interior.
You could probably make your own by using 6 throttle bodies and an aftermarket injection system like Megasquirt.
I like the idea of rings being too small for the bore. Even if the slugs are correct an if the rings are even just .010" or .020", the ring gap...
Looks badass to me.
Here it is.
I did broach open the slot in my damper for the 1/4" key. Then made a bracket to hold a pointer on 0 once the engine was on TDC. I found this to...
There is a book you can get on ebay on the old hemis. It has a lot of great info. Everything from cranks to valve spring stats. I'm not able to...
I got em from Venolia about 3 years ago. I called about some more the other day and they quoted me $108.00 per slug. Ross also makes em. I got a...
We did some measuring on the 330 and 341 Desotos. The 330 is supposed to be 8.5-1 but actually comes out to about 7.9-1. My 341 was listed at...
I'm with you on those pistons. I got a set of 10-1 Venolias for my 341 Desoto. My neighbor has a 241 Dodge going into a 64 Valiant wagon. He got a...
Being that the carbs are side draft, remove everything but the butterflies, and go with a Megasquirt type injection by installing injectors in the...
They'll pretty much sound the same if you put a turbo on it.
I got my adapter from Wilcap. It was listed as a 318-392 adapter. I have a 727 behind my 341 and the starter is on the driver side. My friend got...
I did see in a Hot Rod magazine that someone got 515 HP with a 331 using the new Hot Heads 4-bbl intake manifold.
The one I used on my 341 was a 56 354. No modification necessary. My neighbor adapted the Hot Heads 340 pump to his 241 Dodge. The oil pan had to...
Do you know if it costs much to do anodizing?
I put in bronze guides then seals on both.
They may be for the oil gallery plugs at the back of the block. The driver side has a pair. 3/8" and 1/4" pipe at the very back, and a 1/4" plug...
I used s pump from a 354 on my 341 Desoto. No modifications were necessary. I was getting 85 psi while priming with a drill. I used a 1/16" shim...
At 226-234 degrees @ .050", what does that come out to in total duration?
I just got done modifying a 318 camshaft gear drive for my 341 Desoto. Wasn't too hard. The cam is a roller from Contrerras. Unfortunately the...
Be sure to get the 426 WEDGE decal or no one will know if it's a 383 or 440.
How much head work was done?
That's a nice lookin outfit.
That is beautiful. Don't think I've ever seen that setup on any old Hemi. Did you cast the intakes yourself?
Midstate is the first place I ever when to the drags. I saw these wheelstanding rails on TV and had to check it out. There was a jet car that...
Someone use to make phony hemi valve covers for the SBC. You might watch Ebay.
Please post some photos of those castings. Bill
