A 350 has a removable gear on it. I actually have several if you dont. The next thing to address is the oil pressure. You either have WAY to much spring pressure or the oil is too thick. That will add undo stress on the gears especially if you dont give it time to warm up and thin the oil before romping on it.

Good luck getting paint to last on the exhaust runners on the heads.

It sounds like a misaligned valve nut. LOL Heck I don't know it sounded fine to me.

Off the top of my head I think it is 230 hp. These engines have very little value although this is a good thing for me since I collect them! $200-$400 for a great running engine. Although the hp numbers are not very good on these they have a ton of potential, and they make good torque from idle up. I made 398 hp with a 155hp rated 77 version of the Buick 350! Add a power adder and really ...

Hi Bob, just had a quick look in the shed. Rover 3.5lt = 9 Inches (220mm) approx (Motor still in car) Leyland P76 4.4lt = 9 & 7/8 (251mm) (Taken from underside of inlet manfold) Taken from centre of bolt holes. Well, its a start. Wouldnt mind someone double checking for me tho! Hack

4 holer fuel line.....unless you go aftermarket and make one, otherwise it just looks hack job.

I would take a look at whether the carb is running lean and needs a rebuild. The fuel filter is another issue. The carb may need an overhaul. Next I would look at the timing and both the vacuum and centrifugal advance operations for the distributor. They may need an overhaul. I doubt the cam and lifters have a thing to do with your issues.

The headers will fit the 300 engine, and I assume that since the 340 is wider, that they fit the frame with no problems as well. But I believe that those headers are "shorty" style and aren't worth it IMO. It's too bad Poston's is out of business as I have a set of their equal length long tube headers on my 300 and that really woke the engine up. In addition, I think that 2" pipes are too small ...

No, it's an exhaust manifold heat stove. There are 2 parts, a sheet metal cover that bolts to the driver's exhaust manifold, and an attachment for the hose that bolts to the head. Try posting in parts wanted.

supposedly rebuilt by the previous owner about 3000 miles ago first, what did he rebuild?
