I measuring the main bearing bores of my 340 block with my dial bore gauge and I got 2.6925". According to my service manual diameter for a 340 is suppose to be 2.4995-2.5005" and for a 360 its 2.8095-2.8105". Is the manual talking about the diameter of the journals on the block or the crank? Diameter of my cranks main journals is 2.4780", there is also a .020 stamped onto the bearing. If I take the spec of lets say 2.5000" minus 2.4780" of the crank I get 0.022". So this makes me think that the manual is giving the spec size of the main journals of the crank. But then there is no spec of what the diameter of the block and main caps are suppose to be.
the main housing bore size is 2.6925-2.6930 the std. shaft diameter is 2.2995-2.5005 the block doesn't have journals, it has housing bores. the crankshaft has journals.
Perfect thank you. Must of been why I couldnt find the spec on it then, looks like im with in it.

I went with muscle motors racing. Picked up a 416 stroker kit with forged crank, forged pistons, piston rings, and h beam rods completly balanced. 10:1 compression with 63cc closed chamber heads. With the camm thinking of will put it a little under 9.2:1 dynamic compression
Justin make sure you look at everything you get from MM very closely when it arrives. I bought a stroker kit from them and it came in destroyed. The pistons had the tops ground and it looked like the used a DA grinder and a new guy. Whoever did this machine work also put the pistons in a vice to hold them and broke 3 pistons between the ring groves. When I called them they sent out replacement pistons that were almost as bad and I guess they were mad that I complained so much the used TRASH as packaging material I had to take everything back to them and get a refund. The owner was surprised at what happened and gave me my money back. Mike Liston of MRL Performance hooked me up for less money and better parts. Just a FYI
