Good build, shows what a 410 Mopar will do with good heads. But one thing to remember that they left out, the Trick Flow heads use the LA intake and valve covers, not the Magnum. Also, they use a dedicated Harland Sharp roller rocker set up at $1000. The key to power in any engine is good flowing cylinder heads.

[@JT-ko3rv]

You can use stock rockers if you wish as long as your block has the rocker shaft oiling holes drilled. If it's a later magnum block without the rocker oiling passages drilled you just need to make sure your lifters, pushrods and rockers will oil through the pushrods there's more than a few rocker setups that will work.

[@seektruth8662]

In 1980 my first car was a 1970 duster with a slant 6. I had a 340 ready to swap in it when the car was destroyed by a Mercedes S running a red light. I put the Duster completely out of my mind when I found my second car, a Boss 302 Mustang. Fast forwarding to now I found a completely rust free original condition 70 Duster with a worn out 318 and it has a Dana posi rear end. Thanks to power Nation I know exactly what motor I will be putting in. I planned to squeeze in a big block 440 but no need when this 410 will fit great and make basically the same power and be 150 pounds lighter. With this much torque I will have to seriously strengthen the frame, but that's a great problem to have. It's going to be a very stock looking sleeper with electric exhaust cutouts and Coker OEM looking '70s rally style Mopar rims but taller and 2 in wider. It will also be getting a third pedal and a 5 speed but don't tell anyone. Love this channel.

For oval racing the stock bore 360 was our backup motor in place of a 0.020 over stroked 340, (355cid). We normally ran 36* timing. This was on a 3/8 mile banked paved oval. The worst thing about the 360 was the torque, it would actually spin the rears coming out of the corner, where the 355 would drive out clean.

[@rogerfox9028]

H ow was the 318?

[@edwardmullen1581]

@@rogerfox9028 The 318 was a great street motor, but never intended for track racing. The 360 was developed as the small block truck motor. The 340 was designed by Chrysler intended for racing use in the Trans Am series, to compete against GM 350 and Ford 351's. For stockcar racing where the displacement limitation was 355cu, MOPAR developed their stroker kit with a bore increase to run at the 355 limit. The 360 being a truck motor was built as a torque monster that would spin the tires too easily. The 340 bored and stroked, 355, had the torque come in higher in the rev band and revved higher, giving it a power band better suited for oval and road racing.

In road racing trim, the 340 was 305 cubes.

Finally, dyno is done. 550 pound feet of torque from small block is pretty healthy. Thought the guys seemed a little apprehensive on the dyno.

All in all, they finally finished the job. Good job!

I would have no problems turning that stroker 7000 rpm and if you look at the graph the hp was still climbing so who knows what the peak hp would have been had they done so.

Aluminum combustion chambers quench much better than iron heads, so they run cooler and allow higher compression by around 1.25 points.

[@elmerfudpucker3204]

The piston and head design have everything to do with that.

[@autopar3000]

He said 11.05:1. But still, I agree, that's quite a bit for the street even with the aluminum heads.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

​@@elmerfudpucker3204 Narrow bore spacing and large valve diameters in small blocks, tend to create valve shrouding in the outside pockets of the combustion chambers. It's the reason Ford 351 Cleveland, 429 and 460 heads are so good, all having a valve train geometry that slants the valves towards the center of the bore, creating more power than typical heads. And because aluminum heads with less shrouding run even cooler, it's worth an additional .25 points of compression.
