Love the "shout out" to VGG and Derrick...recognized that music right from the start...
Well spotted.
Noticed the same thing. Hopefully Derek see’s this a spots it🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠
Caught that jingle also. Awesome
Lol awesome nice touch and good shout out to vice grip garage!
Moses’ sandals that sound makes a guy want to grab a cold snack and bring the thunder!
A Nick's Garage a day, keeps the doctors away....plus, when it's Nick's and Vice Grip Garage, it's a win win....10/10! 🤜🏻🤛🏻☕
I also really like that you dropped both parts on the same day
Yeah.. we didn't want to make you guys wait.
a nice unexpected but certainly appreciated birthday gift, a two-fer of Nick’s Garage
I was saying to check the rockers for the majority of the time watching this. Glad you finally hit it, nick. I don’t know much about 340s but man... with a hotter cam and those heads and intake it seems like it should be a decent bit into the 400 range, idk.
Yeah I was expecting more out of it to be honest
Nice i would be real happy with 395 - 400 hp in a 340 any day of the week great job done Nick
Try a 1 inch carb spacer
Fucken Rights
You need to take advantage of newer hydraulic roller cams. You will put your cylinder heads closer to peak air flow numbers. I always try to match cylinder head max air flow with cam lift. Use duration to put the engine in the desired rpm range.
Nick,
If you had some 1.6 ratio rockers that may help with a little more valve lift. It would be an interesting test comparison for the dyno videos as well. Thanks for the great content!
Nick how about a little bigger header and changing the spark plug to E3 plugs. Or using a NASCAR style plug and a larger ratio on the rockers.
e3 plugs are just snake oil and a waist of money
Carb spacer lift that carb up a inch or two.
Exactly what I was thinking if I was already taking the carb off I would have just threw one on to see
Great job as always Nick! As a Tuner from way back....I would have tried a 1" spacer, optimum timing (make it ping and back off a degree or so) and 12.5 /12.6 on the fuel at WOT. But at least you made it.....like you always do.....God Bless brother and thank you for the super job so we can all watch and learn.....Gene :)
Stock rockers are holding this engine back from making 400+ h.p.
My estimate was right on. 395 h.p.
I'd have to look back but think I predicted 435 HP and 415 lb.-ft... most claimed less than 380 HP... I don't think it's the rocker arms. but do figure there is another 30 HP in there somewheres... we didn't know the cam spec.s or type yet back then and I still don't know, don't have the time right now to look, got to get to a doctor's appointment...
@@BuzzLOLOL Those factory rockers are only 1.45 range and with the .525 lift FTH camshaft he is lucky to have .493 by my math. SB Mopars lose .010 lobe lift because the lifter and pushrod is not in the same plane. A 1.6 rocker would get him there, he isn't using the heads .
Yeah, I think some Comp Ultra Magnum or Harland Sharp roller rockers would be worth 10 hp, or more with a 1.6 ratio. Might need more valvespring to delay the onset of float. 18 inch header extensions might help too, not to mention bigger tubes.
@@BuzzLOLOL He did say hydraulic flat tappet, and .525 lift. That suggests a Comp HL (Hi Lift, specifically meant for .904" Mopar lifters) Extreme Energy grind. The owner cheaped out on the valvetrain. Imagine what a hydraulic roller and 1.6 roller rockers could do. I think around 234/242 @ .050, .560 lift, 110 LSA, would kill.

I put an O ring on the dipstick where it goes into the block. problem solved.
Same here Bro
Or jb weld.
Just clean it off with some spray cleaner then use a Q-tip to put a small bit of silicone around the inside of the dipstick hole and a bit on the tube then drive it in. It's worked for me over the last 40 years.
@@largelarry2126 yep, thats another good way to do it. best to let the sillycone dry before subjecting it to chemicals.
U fighting oil at the crank drop a quart of oil
Nick, I can't build or tune engines like you can, but if I was only 5 hp short of my goal, I'd sure experiment with carb spacers, and run a half quart less oil in the pan. Windage, you know. Maybe a different set of headers too.
340 should have a windage tray so that should not be a problem
@@imarobot3757 . That is correct.
Why not put a spacer under the carb to get a bit more "ram air" effect?
Ya know what? I reckon he knows what he is doing...
@@petere6665 I recon a one inch open hole spacer would be the ticket.
@@petere6665 Sure, but nobody knows EVERYTHING. Anyone can overlook a seemingly obvious solution.
@@davidleonard8369 Agreed. And Wilson Manifolds makes a (stupidly expensive) tapered 4 hole spacer designed specifically for dual plane manifolds.
@@donellmuniz590 I have a simple wood open spacer under mine.
Congratulations on getting 401 HP Nick! You worked hard for it.
Nick have you ever put a brass screen between two gaskets between the carburetor and manifold. Dish the screen so butter Flys won't hit the screen.
yeehaa Nick!! I just knew you were going to get that number!!!! congratulations, now that's tenacity and dedication, a quality I wish more people strove for!!! well done guys!!!!
The only other thought i had was possibly adding a 2" spacer between the carb and the intake to improve air velocity. Just a thought. Always enjoy, Thanks.
It would overcome the dual plane manifold restrictions while making it a crude single plane intake. Should easily get 6-7 more HP...
@@rjones2000r Thanks, that what I thought, incl. my est. HP gains.
I too wish he would have tried some of those carb spacers.
Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's...
I predicted 435 HP and 415 lb.-ft., was close on torque but Eddy heads let us down on HP... those heads don't flow enough to match up well with that too big 245 degrees duration at .050" lift '500+ HP' cam !!!
Check date on sheet: dyno two weeks ago...
Dave. Did not want to use spacers because of hood clearance.
Never tried carb spacer? I hit the torque on the money at 420! Might of just needed slightly longer pushrods.
Hi Nick. Thanks for the great video. Well i got to say this and i have said this for most of my life. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BIG BLOCK MOPAR.
Keep up the great Chrysler content. Always love the 340.
Nearly identical numbers to the 383 for the D200.
Back in the day.....'71 340 Duster. Headers LD340 intake and cam. It was a monster. Loved looking for big block cars.
Good job Nick! A lot of work put into it!
Adding an open carb spacer on that air gap intake and a jetting tweak might have gotten you there as well Nikoli i found that 340s like the added plenum vol on the air gap intakes.

Those 340s were known big block killers when I was younger.
Nick you look so wise and methodical when you were tuning on the engine a master at his craft
Good morning Nick and crew. “This is real..” That is what I love about this channel. I also appreciate the patience and persistence Nick demonstrated. (At least on Camera). I was way low on my prediction.
I was too, I said around 350-360 h.p. and a bit over that for torque. although I missed it, I'm glad I underestimated it so we can see how much more they could pull out of it! great stuff as always from these talented tenacious fellows!!!
im calling foul!....when i guessed numbers it was supposed to be .500 lift cam, but used .525....just a lil low....congrats to whomever predicted correctly.....russell in va
@@root6667 . Sorry, that was my mistake on the cam.
@@nickpanaritis4122 no problem,nick....just kidding...it was fun guessing....stay safe and keep up the good work....russell in va
you might be reaching the limit of the intake manifold some of the newer single plane long runner desighns are making good high end hp without sacrificing low end hp
Two scoops of NG on the same day?
YES, PLEASE!!
As always, you ROCK *George!*
-Ed on the Ridge
Beautiful Engine Nick and for the cam it’s good numbers Maybe try a carb spacer ?! Sometimes the performer Rpm intakes respond well with a spacer
More camshaft! Bet something with more lift but similar timing events will push it over. This is why I love custom grinds.
Cam already to big... Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's...

I love the smell of a garage in the morning .
It smells like... Victory !
Haha not when it's diesel and gear oil yuck gear oils the worst smell there is lol! But ive been to nicks and it smells like pure performance when your eyeballs are trying to pop out of your head their bulging that bad from all the eye candy in the joint it was a real shindig going on daddyo!
@@darrenbrisson4336 man that damn gear oil socks. My buddy from high-school was helping me change the gears in my 70roadrunner ( my first car in 1990 , my dad bought new in 70). He laid his head in it and I mean in it. He wasn't too lucky getting dates for about 2 months
@@darrenbrisson4336 I absolutely LOVE the smell of gear oil!! Is there something wrong with me??? Lol!
@@TheVenom8343 gear oil the smell of rotting lilac is nasty driving by the dump on hwy 2 in cornwalls nasty don't forget cabbage soup farts damn nasty
Nick , what worked for me was this . Denso double platinum plugs and 10w30 Amsoil , stubby headers , ,throttle body spacer , 360 throttlr body with shavedlip on the ventury and this was on a 318 1998 Dodge Durango SLT 4x4 . Factry HP was 230 now maybe 250 .
Love the❤ELDERBROCK❤T-shirt Nick😎👍
Hey hats off too you giving that guy's carb but try also 👍 that was mighty generous of him to do that and give you a free carb.
It's the power/weight ratio that matters in the end. Dusters and Demons are light. Similar setup to the early Chevy Nova L79.
Not enough duration on the camshaft.... Hardly has a lumpy idle. That engine is capable of 450 plus HP. If canned right.
Try a hyd. Roller with w 238/248 @ 0.50 lift
Not being critical as I appreciate all you do but wouldn't it be better to use the carb that the guy intends to run rather than your Super Carb?
We always dyno tested with the water temp at 190 degrees to get the oil thinner for less drag.
Interesting!
A half quart to a full quart less oil in the pan is an age old drag racers trick to reduce windage, even though a baffled pan or windage tray is highly recommended. Can be worth 10 hp.
@@donellmuniz590 . I know.
Try adding a 1” spacer under the carb.
Nick I've told you before on a previous LA engine, the performer rpm intake for LA is the restriction.
I've had 340's that pull hard to 7200 rpm. After all they have a short 3" stroke. If its not building power above 5500 rpm its not canned properly. Especially with edelbrock heads, your leaving. Unleashed power if you not taking advantage of the short stroke.
Ie:z28 302 had the same 3" stroke,
And made all its power at high rpm.....Kent.
If your timing and jetting changes aren't making any difference in power, the choke point in the system is elsewhere. That means there's a restriction somewhere. Those heads should be good to about 425 hp, and so should the intake. So you might need more cam, or 1.6 roller rockers for a bit more lift, or 1 and 7/8ths headers, or less preload on the hydraulic lifters. Maybe shim the valvesprings .020 or so to delay valve float. Just my thoughts.
Too big of cam already... Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's...
I predicted 435 HP and 415 lb.-ft., was close on torque but Eddy heads let us down on HP... those heads don't flow enough to match up well with that too big 245 degrees duration at .050" lift '500+ HP' cam !!!
I'll be dipped, a vice grip garage cameo. That's fine
In this day and age, if you believe the magazines and tv shows, 400 hp should be a piece of cake. But I'm sure the owner wants it to have decent manners, driveability, good vacuum, etc. More cam might mess that up. But those new Trick Flow 190cc heads should be good for another 30 or 40 hp, with no penalty other than cost. And it's a shame the guy didn't request a stroker crank. A 408 will stomp a 340 every time.
Nick, thanks for the great work you did on my engine. Can't wait to get it put back into the Demon
Can't wait!
I am envious. My first “newer” mopar was a 71 Demon 340. I loved that car and the rally package differentiated it from most of the Dusters and Demons. I bought it in ‘73 but sadly a crash one week before Christmas of 77 spelled the end of my baby.

Try watching Engine Masters on Motor Trend. When the put an18 inch extension on the collectors it definitely added HP

Just curious those heads could they stand a little bowl work ? But 400 is a bunch in light mopar...
that's a bad ass 340, regardless!
As they say “That dawg won’t hunt”

I,m a Impalla SS 1968 4spd guy but Nick has sold me on Mopar now i,m a cross liker hahaha
This a mopar guy here who misses his 69 SS impala....Awesome car.
When are you going to do the dyno session for the 318 from the United States?
The lunar garage/uncle Tony’s garage TH-cam marathon build, the one that caught all the stuff in the oil, and low oil pressure at temperature.
Whenever the torque is higher than the horsepower the engine is begging for more cam.
The engine has plenty of carb, head, intake and compression.
More cam please!
In order to get the best numbers, it was routine to tear down a fresh build, and hone the cylinders again, as now a pattern was developed, lap the valves in again, new bearings as well. 2 tenths quicker sometimes in Super stock racing.
Of course not practical in a street car
Poly 318 bored and stroked all the goodies to the max i would love to see a video...no one has done a full professional video on one yet I sure you can get over 500hp easy
Got a love your persistence but sometimes you just have to except what it is, it’s close enough! 😉
The cam is too mild, a better cam would pick it up to 415-430 hp.
This is my morning coffee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We made you an extra cup.
I had those same heads, with the deck being thicker you need to run a spark plug that has a longer threaded area. The stock spark plugs don’t actually purtrude down into the combustion area, they are recessed into the threads.
It happens to the best of them but you move on take care of the problem like always
I'm a GM guy myself, but its refreshing to see Nick push these mopar engines to their limits, he's a perfectionist for sure, but not afraid to admit that you're never to old to learn.
I remember saying 440 six pack numbers that was 390 "factory"...lol..395 is pretty good though I am sure there is a little more in it . maybe a spacer on carb port heads a little more maybe...395.8 nothing to sneeze at in my opinion...💪👌👍✌️
Love the dyno videos Nick, but one question. Why the tape on the timing light wire? My guess was 380 hp, I was low. Best way to start my day, Nick`s video and coffee. Chevy guy here, but love all old muscle. We grew up in the same era Nick. I`m 63 now, been wrenching on my own cars since I was 16. Next job is a trans swap with new cooler lines on my 91 Silverado, had my 700R4 rebuilt after 300,000 miles(finally gave up the ghost). Got a used one last august now it lost reverse, so I had the original one rebuilt better than stock. Was not cheap, $1750.00 us with converter. 3 year 100,000 mile warranty. Keep up the great work Nick, I learn something from every video. Stay safe, God Bless.
it is a win, just the climatic conditions are more than enough to cause noticable variances so it's a win
I was waiting for Nick to take out a little bit of oil,maybe try a spacer on the carb and toss on the velocity stack. But I bet he gets it with his perseverance for sure!
Love it the real world mate stay safe and make more videos benny 😎👍
Once again. Love the nod to Vice Grip Garage!! Awesome motor!!
Right on!
That carburetor seem's to proform really well and look's the part too! Thank's for yet another amazing show guy's!
Our pleasure!
Not really... Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's...

I had 302 Windsor that made 400hp with a burnt valve
How about a 2 inch spacer under the carb ?
Why can not this engine turn 6 to 65 hundred RPM ?
Chrome valve covers will get you that little bit of extra horsepower to get you to the 400 your looking for.
Definitely.
Awesome comment! Also putting as many speed product stickers as you can on the car will shave off a tenth as well.
Is thermostat faulty causing it to run too cold? Proper operating temperature can maximize horsepower gains also. Thanks for the video!
Awesome stuff, really love videos like this! :-) If I may ask, what are the exact stroke, bore and cubes on this baby? Is it pulling enough vacuum for power brakes? I think this would be awesome in an A body! :-) Great stuff! :-)
All in all Nick, a very good demonstration of the Mopar 340 small block. It fits very well in any engine compartment and kicking it 400 hp and 415 torque is VERY respectable. I guessed 402 hp.
Mike. Good for you.
One could expect performance of a 440 out of that little 340, just slightly less torque. That would be nice in a road race set-up 'Cuda or Challenger.
@@tonypoore440 the 340 is so happy at 6-7000 rpm but does run out of torque. They just look so comfortable in a A,B, or E body Mopar.
Perhaps, you can add a 1 or 2 inches spacer under the carburetor may hit the 400 hp?
Loved the VGG music. One of my favorite channels after Nick.
A ported LD340 intake with the plenum mod and you would have over 400 HP. I built a .030 over 340, TRW L2316F pistons, Edelbrock 6017 heads, 528" solid Mopar purple shaft cam and the forementioned LD340 intake with a Holley 750 DP. 408 HP.

410 hp
Rev that 340 out to about 6500 RPM, it will be making power then. SB Mopars like to be revved, at least my 340 does.
32-34 total advance works for me, all in @3500 RPM on centrifugal advance only.
I was right!! I knew it would struggle to make 400hp. They're just not a very powerful engine, never have been.

@@BuzzLOLOL if's and but's buddy. I predicted 390 - 400, with what it was, and was right. there's no "what if's" bud. You weren't as close to me. cheers
I just seen a video on youtube by scampman416 a 340 in a scamp. he states 650HP. Type in not today biker boy's. That thing is wicked.
I've watched that video, that thing is a screamer!!!!
Just throwing this out there.......why not build a 340 to spin at 7000+? They're awesome engines, especially in the lightweight bodies they came in! Can they be de-stroked with a different crank?
Dirk. Yes. down to 305.
I knew Nick wouldn’t rest until he hit 400! Wondering if you can share shimming details - what side of the rocker did you shim, and does the shimming only work for that style rocker/push rod?
That thing should be revving higher too? Maybe it needs more camshaft? With aluminum heads, Air-gap intake and that big carb it should run 6,500 no sweat! Maybe the valve springs are weak? Something is definitely off???

👽Index the plugs you should be able to get another five or six. Maybe a spacer?
Dual plane, the riser idea from another here. Or single plane drop some torque, raise HP and RPM. Making more Torque. That thing needs to be a 6,000. My 68 302 was hitting 6300 with shaved deck/30over/polished stock heads with 7thou clean up. And a Torguer High Rise, with that 30deg twist. And get this stock cam and flat bottom lifters. I was raised by a very cool dad, at the same time life was like military in some ways. Miss him so much.
LOL So the cam changed and so did the carb, from the parameters that you gave us. It is what it is. Like a lot of us, I was screaming at the vid, 1" spacer under the carb !! The 2 plane intake was killing the power number. I was sure when the camera went to the carb gaskets and spacers, that you had seen the light LOL. Single plane intakes with good carb and spark tuning, can make very good bottom end without killing the top. It's all in the combination. Great persistance!

I think it was engine masters who pushed a 318 to over 400hp on the dyno with the use of a spacer block under the carb in the end
Over 400hp is darn good for a little 340c.i.d. I believe that you can make 357hp from a slant6 lol you're the best 👌
Thanks 👍
Part 2 What will the 340 do? Engine built by Nick and the crew Nick's advanced the timing the dipstick needs reviving The vice grip is just the trick to remove the dipstick tube quick Nick can fix any oil leaks It's the magic 400hp that he seeks Determination in any situation is the only way to avoid frustration Nick's Garage The pride of the nation Of Richening up a carb Nick's got no reservation Changing out the jets with no regrets That's why Nick's Garage on a Monday I always checks
Mismatched too big cam and too big carb. isn't making much vacuum/air speed, requires too big of jets to get fuel in... he put 79's in, should be more like 69's...

@@BuzzLOLOL . You are correct. We did the 401 HP with a 650 CFM carb. I just really wanted to try the new carb.
@@nickpanaritis4122 - You seemed to hint the '750' carb. was prolly a lot bigger... maybe good for a Hot 440...

@@russellhartwell5404 - Plenty of cam for 450 HP... needs heads...
Nick, at this point of the video im only half way through & you are trying 39 degrees of advance to try to get more than 395 hp. My idea is trying a spacer under the carb? Im interested to see what you do further in the video.
Valve control at 5200+ rpm? More valve spring?

@@BuzzLOLOL I´m sure there are better heads for maximum power. But I think the graph looked a bit strange above 5200 rpm. Shouldn´t this combo be able to make more power well beyond 5200 rpm? Valve float? But I´m just an amateur :)
Wonder what a carb spacer would have done.Also a velocity stack could pick up top end power
Nick with bleeped words. There's a first for everything:)
@#!?! oil leaks!
