I posted in two other areas for my father /son 1972 Cuda restoration. Trying to watch budget, but don't want to have to go back and do over. Car came with a 72 340 motor that needs a total rebuild. That being said came across a 2002 Dodge work van with 84k miles on it. drove it home hour and 15 minutes and has way over 40 psi and never over heated, pulled strong. Reading about these builds. My suggestions to my son are, we pull the motor and part out van. Buy a new aluminum intake ( find a used one), maybe put a new cam in it and gasket motor. When he gets a job out of college and gets extra money over the years build what he wants. Do the motor mounts for the 340 bolt up to the 360? What headers/ manifold do we use? Like to hear thoughts , didn't really want to go crazy but open to doing things smart. thanks Phil par12730@sbcglobal.net if you want to email
