Classic MOPAR Small Block - 340 on Dyno
Feb 27, 2020and what we have here is a smooth 1972 340 guys for a 70 CUDA four speed car that only has a little tin, a little soft boarding on the heads and nothing more and there it is all on track to decide a lot of things happening hello good. in Nick's garage, but the shop's reputation is based on the engines that are built and rebuilt here. Nick has been making the most of muscle car engines since he was just a kid in the alley behind his parents' house in Montreal. Today he has clients coming from all over for his old school knowledge and limitless experience.
Nick loves working on all types of vehicles and the engines that make them run, but he has a particular soft spot for the V8s that came out of Detroit in the Golden Age. of American Muscle and the engines made by Chrysler today a piece of the Chrysler story is on the
dyno
to test This newly built 340 belongs to Steve from Toronto and he got up early to make the six hour drive so he could be here for the finaldyno
testing before taking his engine home 9400 M why we received it from the German station okay, I bought it yesterday you want to change it guys, we can change it where do you want to run looking at the field? okay, everything is in timing, you know it was an experiment yes, I looked for 39 jaskate.I need you to pay 50 dollars. I'll show you your cc1, hey, I was 67, yes, the other one was 71, so you don't realize that the two heads were different, something yes, and I didn't vote, so I paint one so they both come in the same, yes, then When did they start doing what she sees? I bought a 263 bowl to put it in the high nine, now 63cc voltage, this is a 750, I have factory jets on 73, I'm not going to use it, she is. I'm going to do a test, you know, check the oil pressure, the mechanics, all that, I'm going to take it from 2800 to 59, okay, you guys are ready, let me get the ones that were a date today and they'll go to 173 184 at the water temperature, which is the air-fuel ratio.
Look, this copper is getting rich, see, look, I want to go high 12 look what I'm getting low, too low 12 is rich, right, but I'm not worried about this car. I'm trying to tell you if your carburetor is on. Another day they gave me more horsepower. I guess 34 was better for you. Yes, I'm going to turn a clock upside down. I marked my dealer where I have them. Don't forget it's now running on my control box right when you put it on. car you have to check the timing, okay, I'm going to go back in time a little, the sound of a 340 on the dyno is always nice, but today it's even better for Steve, who hasn't heard his engine run in eight years, that's how a long time ago he had an accident on his CUDA, unfortunately that's why one of the manifolds is very broken, but here it is back to life with Nick doing his magic, let's change the age with these carpenters, so you have some. card problem you want to run it on and of course now that we have the engine on the dyno our goal is to get your coverage smooth because whatever you did to it, it kept running very lean at idle, so it was a good gift. another rain of coal and let's pass this one on to get it right and you guys I'm going to say something okay when you do the dyno test and we don't have the turbine and this I checked if it's tight.
In this case I just loose, I'll remove it because my last experience in a big
block
swap someone brought the carburetor from it, put it on my, put the turbine on. I didn't check this, but I didn't expect it to be loose, we did. A final test on that dyno and all of a sudden we had a big noise, we turned it off and found this through the piston, the carburetor cranking anyway, it was a bad experience, that's why I take them, okay, let's give it a try. touch. There's something there guys, I need a breakdown yard BAM - no, not good, okay, now I'll speed it up, look at this, I'm just doing it.I thought they had forgotten the pots beforehand, it's not their cup to bite them, money, they could bring the 32 or 34 there was a minute for which everything you are over 30 and racial the other bitter car was in red all the time without matter what I did there, you know it's a little bit on the root side, but you're good, you're good. You okay, oh sorry, well when it starts making noise in my shuttle I have to make sure I don't throttle anything closer with full throttle, so I have a quiet opening, here we go, we're good, okay, let's do it a first test with the car Peter I.
Steve just arrived this morning, so we got the fuel ratio perfect at idle, so now let's see what it does on full throttle, same thing from twenty-eight to fifty nine hundred rpm, three hundred rpm for a second, yeah, yeah, it's pretty good, look, this is it. money, that's all perfect money and power is the same power, look at that, okay, 30-30 is like before. I finally got the information I want and it's pretty cool, you don't have to do any docking or meet Roger in this. Were you here to be at one time? We will do it again and don't forget that I am waiting.
I will close it at 28:00 p.m. m. Full throttle a Yannick card that is immediately committed while driving, but this year I'm
block
ing it right now. We're going to do another full throttle test without a fight working on the Subaru and what are your friends mixing up? damage, we want to see if it causes any hog in your performance and we're just going to do the test and find out, and that's the vacuum cleaner, I don't know, take a look at this tikrit group, yeah, there's your vitamin, oil pressure Idle it's good with 40lbs 45lbs air fuel ratio let me check it again there's a good twelve seven twelve nights yeah we're good if you're rich it's good even in the air while accelerating with the right carburetor in place Nick has Steve's 340 running smoothly up to fifty nine hundred rpm with the air-fuel ratio right where you want it.Nick is happy with the results so far, but Steve is thinking about some food. Nick knows the place. Restaurant for tap 2000 here on the highway, there, all this for forty. so every time we eat a burger meal and I come back I do one more test in six hours at 200 p.m. and let's finish the day, we have a few more versions for stock, come on Vasili special, so we are about to do one more test, you could be the last test of the day. Hopefully they weighed 340 so we could put it on paper. we're going to take it from 3000 to 6200 rpm and it's going to be our final test before we take it home and hopefully we get it so let's go for it just yet no yeah you know what girls this comes out what that that no what it is .
Upstairs we're going to think it's 200, we're hoping to get to 340 on paper, that's the whole trip, open the fan please, we're going to take it from 3000 to 6200 RPM at 300 rpm for a second, there was a 3000 M. look now 3,000 so we're good that's when Carpathia that's it guys everything's good it's like everyone here has a little bit you better believe it's not the age it's the mileage here we go 3:35 I was hoping to get 340 it's Close enough to know he would die. The most revered in this mortar was 339 and I tried to get three 40s, then did another test.
This is there again today. I got to 339. I couldn't reach the 340 mark for some reason and This is 37 degrees on each erection, yes she was playing a little wavy there, that could be the super game over time or should I do it now that it's hot or what do you think? What do you think? No, you know what I'm just doing. big one degree let me do something one degree yeah I'm just going to do this I'm just going to do it a little bit we're almost there yeah take another shot no it's on the mark this word this was my original high. the words break right there, so we take another side, here we go, come on, it's 3:40, perfect, okay Britt, this, princess, wait, you did it, print it, we did it, we finally get to 59 Humphrey and we got 340.
I'm happy to turn it off and now, right before I take it to the dyno, I'm just going to make sure everything is okay before I turn it off. I'm looking for any noise, okay, come on honey, let's check for noise before we take it off. look for a unique look, anything on your watch that looks like a slope, yes I want to hear that for main sequencing. I'm just checking Kentucky so Steve there we have it we finally put it on paper 348 304 there it is one cube equals one horsepower yeah that's it we just keep going back and over until we get our numbers in a lot of cases We do it and today we have it.
I'm happy this is yours, but it's not even here. okay after loading the 340 into the back of the RAM for the trip home to Toronto Stephen, the guys go the extra mile and prepare some generous gifts for everyone, father Tony, traditional Italian Christmas, thank you, thank you, no, no, we have spectators. You may have customers who bring things that are nice, thanks guys, you know you found this, open up, tell your story, yeah, the story behind it, there's only one person who can tell us about it. You gotta be kidding me man ha ha this is in Ottawa yeah. me 1999 you 1999 I think so, because you were very detailed and the passion you had in building this car you were like a proud proud dad showing off your car, I bet we don't normally take pictures of the owners with the car, but you stood out well , I had to take a picture of them Bernie, thank you so much Karl, they came up with Ohio Indiana and they will hold out for $99.99, that's now.
I have it right in front of my office 20 years ago, I sold it to you guys. When I combed my hair, I didn't know your name at the time, but I thought the good guy from Quebec is always a good guy. 20 years have passed, here we meet again. That's one of yours. Oh, we met 20 years ago! A long time ago, Bernie met Nick at a car show in Carlisle, and he took this photo and filed it away. After all this time, he came to Nick's shop in Montreal and saw the same car in a photo on the wall.
He remembered the car and he remembered Nick. I sure miss this car, let me tell you I've owned a few cars. You know I've done some projects, this is one of them mm-hmm and you know everyone was like one of my cars, they always want to buy it and now.
