Sorry to hear about this, Mike. Hope it isn't serious 
I am sure you will post results, and many will learn from it.
Thanks guys... I'm thinking it has to be a rod bearing
but I didnt feel any bad... but to loose 100#tq
it has to be something at a distance from the C/L..
I'll pick it up this morning and get it on the stand

The only thing I see is where some dirt/debris on a couple of piston skirts scratched the bores.. 2 have a pretty good scratch .... all the bearings looked fine... so I still dont know where all this alum partials came from

Mike..what about the cam bearings?  Hard to believe it wasn't one of the rods!  All the main bearings were OK as well? Please let us know as soon as you find the "culprit"! Losing 100 ft. lbs....it has to be something that sticks out like a sore thumb!  Keeping my fingers crossed! 
I had Larry stop by to take a look at it... he said
the scuffed walls would eat the torque but he is
stumped as to where the material came from... cam
bearings looked fine, pushrods were fine, dist bushing
is fine... one of the main bearings has a line in
it that he said looked weird so he is gonna stop by
with his bore gauge to see if that one main is ok
but thats the only thing he sees but he has no idea
where the crap/alum came from... neither do I...
like someone went into the shop and dumped alum in it

I would now think it's the carb.  Power went down after messing with the carb.. Try a different one. You already washed the rings out with it once. Maybe it did it again.  As far as the metal.. Maybe you just missed something in cleaning..  I've done that before. Chris..

Chris..
I washed that block 3 times before I assembled it
I can say that St. Clair treated me right when it
came to price when I picked up the engine.... IF
I ever get this thing right it'll go back there to
the dyno

Mike,glad Larry took care of you! They are good people,for sure!   Hard to believe you haven't found anything that stands out from the norm! Keep us informed if you find out anything!  
Larry didnt have a clue where that alum came from and
I really dont know either.... it was in the pan and
the filter so it had to start from in the pan but it
was in the bearings also... so that would mean it
was in the oil gallies also or it got through the
filter(which I doubt).... I cleaned that block 3 times
before I started assembly so I dont know... looks
like I'll order up new main and rod bearings and do
a hone then clean it AGAIN and try 1 last time...
I think I'll pull the heads apart to check them real
close and clean them... thats all I can think of...
I have 2 more 340 blocks that are bored but I would
have to have either of them decked to my set up but
that will be my last resort.... still think I should
have done a WOT run.... that would have found the
problem

Maybe the junk was in the filter when you spun it on, brand new out of the box, who knows, crazier things have happened.

Just ANOTHER lousy bump in the road! With as many motors as you've put together without major problems...your number finally had to come up..unfortunately! 
Hope it's an "easy fix" that will be minimal cost-wise! 
You`ll get it and when you do that thing will FLY...............
