Welcome from Texas.
Are you going to go back to the original 340?
You can get a lot of help from everyone on here.
I picked up the Stacey David Gearz project book to write different parts down in one place for future build.

I have been checking the temperature at a piece of ptoperty I have near Elk Bend Idaho this week and I keep seeing about 50 degrees cooler than here.

Thanks 73440, I do eventually plan on going back to a period correct 340 when I have the $ and can find one. I would also like to stroke the 383 or the 440 that I have after I get a 340 and rebuild it. This way I can have a play motor. It's been unseasonably warm and cool up here this year, it's been strange. We had a freeze in the middle of June that toasted my garden, but for the past 2 weeks it's been nice. Temps in the low to upper 60s during the day and mid to upper 40s at night. Back in May it was in the 90s, which is not normal.
