I am going down that same route. I've been asked why, why don't you just use a Magnum engine and be through with it? If I can pull this off with a 360, there is no reason I can see that you couldn't do it on a 340. Stock exterior appearance with a modern, proven, streetable, valve train. That is the ultimate goal. Then I've been told I'll be giving up all that potential horsepower with this arrangement. Not everything needs 500 hp. Just my twocents


The good news is the 318/360 Magnum was made from 1993 to 2003 and currently can EASILY be found in any pick and pull yard.


Keep old mopars alive.
