I'm told that early 340's have positive deck pistons , they use open chamber heads.

The 2 engines I have are about .002 - .003 BELOW the deck , one is in my 56k original mile 383 Dart GTS, the heads had NEVER been off it till I pulled them to freshen the heads. The other is an original 69 Superbee engine , I bought it as a backup , never ran it , it's got a .509 cam in it. My dart runs well for a 383 A body. I'm building a fresh 383 for it, the pistons are .002 in the hole, 80 CC 906's, true 10.2 compression on a .040 overbore. Eagle rods and Diamond pistons, hoping the car will run low 13's. I'm told hi 12's with the right cam and more gear .
