I also really like that you dropped both parts on the same day
Yeah.. we didn't want to make you guys wait.
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!
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.
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! 🤜🏻🤛🏻☕
Nick you look so wise and methodical when you were tuning on the engine a master at his craft
Those 340s were known big block killers when I was younger.
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.
Try a 1 inch carb spacer
Fucken Rights
Two scoops of NG on the same day?
YES, PLEASE!!
As always, you ROCK *George!*
-Ed on the Ridge
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.
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
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.
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.
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' 7.000 RPMs cam !!!
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.
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.
That is so cool that you gave Derek a shout out at Vice Grip Garage. VGG. Thanks Nick for sharing some love to a feller... ;)
VGG have a great channel.
One of the things I really like about this show is, is if a motor isn’t perfect Nick doesn’t just cover it , such as this leak . He will make it right .
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!
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, 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.
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 :)
Awesome! Great perseverance. Love the show. This week it was double trouble with 2 troubleshooting episodes! That calls for a second cup of coffee!
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
Although my hot rodding days are behind me and I am now in a 03' Z71 Tahoe, you definitely bring back the memories of my youth. The only thing missing with the sound of these great cars and engines, are the smells associated with them.
I know I miss the smell of carbureted none cat engines with these new cars
@@79tazman That and when you could get "real gas" like SUNOCO 260. All of our RB's and the 66' Vette 327/375hp in my 66' Caprice Classic wagon ran it. Nothing like the smell of leaded gasoline.
Once again. Love the nod to Vice Grip Garage!! Awesome motor!!
Right on!
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...

Check date on sheet: dyno two weeks ago...
Dave. Did not want to use spacers because of hood clearance.
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.
This is the first time I ever heard Nick's voice censored. Keep up the great work Nick
There's a first time for everything lol
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...

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!!!!
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.
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!
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
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 .
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'll be dipped, a vice grip garage cameo. That's fine
Keep up the great Chrysler content. Always love the 340.
1.16 HP per cubic inch is amazing. Remember the 283 fuel injection 1 HP per cubic inch. No FI here. Well done Nick!
Those Elderbrock shirts are absolutely epic. Already had a ton of respect for Nick, but him allowing the shirts to exist just takes the respect up to another level.
that's a bad ass 340, regardless!
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!
Loved the VGG music. One of my favorite channels after Nick.
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
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!
You should be "screaming'!... 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...

Nick I've told you before on a previous LA engine, the performer rpm intake for LA is the restriction.
What goes great with a warm coffee, scrambled eggs breakfast... only Nicks Garage on the menu. Yiassas Pedia!
The best!
Nice i would be real happy with 395 - 400 hp in a 340 any day of the week great job done Nick
a nice unexpected but certainly appreciated birthday gift, a two-fer of Nick’s Garage
Numbers are good for this tiny cam, solid flat tappet would make a big difference. Billet Thumper carb looks good, keep it up Dom!
Nope, cam is too big... mismatched engine parts... 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 wrong. rpm heads in stock form flow 240cfm @ .500” lift and 250cfm @ .600” lift. Setup was over 10.5:1 so duration was not too much, also its a small block and still made peak power pretty low in rpm range. If this was solid cam, and good adjustable rocekrs were used results would have been much better. Also I believe 750cfm is what factory put on 340. I have experience building 340ci small blocks and usually use 850cfm carb with good ported heads and bigger cam.
Heat video Nick thank. I’m a automotive technician and my daughter and son are taking interest in what I do. I love the pride and honesty you provide to UA-cam thank you again
Nick, geez the 340 loves the rpms! Give it to it bud!
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.

Dr. Nick,when you first where building this motor a few weeks back I picked 401 HP, today on part 1 of this video I picked 426 HP,I do like that Thumper carb,and the float widows are very cool,cheers.

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
It's the power/weight ratio that matters in the end. Dusters and Demons are light. Similar setup to the early Chevy Nova L79.
This is my morning coffee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We made you an extra cup.
Never tried carb spacer? I hit the torque on the money at 420! Might of just needed slightly longer pushrods.
Pretty cool that both part 1 and 2 came out today! Can not wait to be back in the shop with you boys!!
it is a win, just the climatic conditions are more than enough to cause noticable variances so it's a win
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
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.
"This is REAL! This is the real world."
Try watching Engine Masters on Motor Trend. When the put an18 inch extension on the collectors it definitely added HP
Engine Masters would tell him 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...

Aaaaaaaaaaaa. Finally home to watch Nick's Garage and chillax a bit.
Take it easy, Brendan.
"HERE WE GO!" LET'S GO!"
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.
Wow Nick that coffee went down perfectly after seeing you had made your goal of 400 and hey glad you got the oil leak sorted also.
That is one sweet sounding 340 and it sounds like you might have been spot on with the new carb after adding the shims. Thanks for yet another top video Nick, George & Leo and hey great to see Manny's trick worked aye! Stay safe guy's.
Love the❤ELDERBROCK❤T-shirt Nick😎👍
A great way to start the week with some MoPar horsepower from Nick's Garage! Bill from Linglestown Pennsylvania!
Thank you, Bill. Good to see you here.
@@NicksGarage I've had MoPar in my blood since the day I was born way back in 1954! I inherited that from my dad. My first car was a 1964 Dodge 330 with a 225 slant six then graduated to a '69 Roadrunner in highschool!
@@billjamison2877 . Nice.
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.
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.

It is very easy to have a small leak a gasket out of line just a hair can do it or a little nick in it so you fix it that is the sign of a pro good work Nick never leave a leak.Over 400 fp of torx thats good .Thats a strong engine I would be happy with it 415fp 395hp
I love how Nick never stops learning or trying! Great episodes George!!!
Love it the real world mate stay safe and make more videos benny 😎👍
Nick are used to run pro stock 340s in 1971. I think if you try 100 octane low lead yes you will get your 400+ horsepower in this engine.
Awesome work, Nick.
Maybe a split side spacer to give the intake a little more volume and smooth out the runner turn in ?

Had to come back and rewatch. Same combo in mine but with a QFT 650 DP. 331/350 to the wheels in my 72 Duster. About 390/410 at the crank according to the Mustang Dyno. 1” open spacer is the other difference, six pack hood clearance.
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
Ld340 intake,i cut the divider down to one half inch from the base,made great top end! 1973
A two-parter you’re spoiling us this week Nick I have to finish watching the first one then watch this one
We wanted to bring you guys the whole story. So we broke it into bite sized pieces.
@@NicksGarage I like how honest you are with your fans and how you show the whole Journey. Rome wasn’t built in a day and we all know what happens when you try to build an engine in a day. 😅 keep up the great work man the end result was definitely worth it.
I understand your frustration Nick but, man, those numbers are pretty darn good. and only 5 HP from your goal. I can't find my guess but I think I said 360 or so. From all you've tried, I think that's all you're going to get out of that motor, and as I said, they are nothing to be ashamed about. Good job Nick and Thank You for showing us the final output, even if you were just under your guess, it was better than mine, LOL!!!

Tip of the hat to a great channel.
A guy certainly agrees with you Nick!!!
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

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...💪👌👍✌️
After watching part 1, I knew that Nick wouldn't stop until he hit the 400 HP mark, well done Nick and crew. Thank you for part 2 so soon, I thought that I would have to wait until next week to see the final results. This 340 will make that Demon a real sleeper on the street, and a fun car to drive. Nick's Garage has the best videos on UA-cam. Thank you George for all your hard work, on the videos they are very enjoyable to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
This engine could be much better: 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' 7.000 RPMs cam !!!
Nick doesn’t give up til he gets the 340 tweeted in to 400 hp he nick no worries you did great job on that build
great show as always
would love to see a motor with a hillborn set up on the dyno
thank you for the best show on UA-cam 👍🇨🇦
Maybe one day!
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.
Nice! Big Block numbers from a mighty mouse. Blew away my guesses by a lot!
You should consider getting a set of 4 each of the high speed bleeds, .005" larger and .005" smaller (for your shop Holley HP carb), they tend to influence the upper RPMS and are a fine tune item. A big plus is they are super quick to swap out. (I use them as a quick test to see if the engine prefers a slightly richer or leaner tune up during initial tests)
For your viewers, that last 5 HP to achieve your goal can be the most difficult numbers to achieve, and you may never get there. Some times a colder coolant temp and a shorter run (Nick could start at 4000 for instance) can give you the brag number you're looking for.👍
LOL! LOVED the spontaneous homage’ to VGG!! 👍😎✅🎯
… as well as the insider’s view into the process.
Got a love your persistence but sometimes you just have to except what it is, it’s close enough! 😉
That intake is what's really holding it back in the upper rpm.
Doubt it. That’s a Performer RPM. Good to 6500. He only took her to 5600. She wants more cam for those heads.
@@mattbauckman9907 I hade that same intake on my 70 340 and was limited rpm wise and switched to a Edelbrock single plane and gained 3/10th in the 1/4 with only that change.
Naw, the Performer RPM is designed to run 1500 to 6500. I think the intake is better than the heads, even though they're both Edelbrock. Probably needs more cam, or freer breathing headers.
@@raymondpauze8801 Some old school Mopar guys, like Rick Ehrenberg, swear that Mopars run strongest with single planes, even on the street. He always used genuine Mopar M1s. Dave Freiburger somewhat debunked that in a COMPREHENSIVE test of intakes on a hot 383: the RPM beat all others, except tunnel rams. But the old school Torker 383 was remarkably close.
@@raymondpauze8801 I ran a Torker 340 intake on a 318 with 360 heads in an old D100, and it was surprisingly strong, better than a regular Performer.
395 pretty impressive. and it does it with any ole carb! probably even a thermoquad? nice job Nick.
A stock 351 boss will make 380 horse power in the right hand and you could get a stock 350 Lt1 rated 370 hp in a corvette let that sink in slopars suck unless its a himi power is in the heads that's why mopar only made like 4 engines that made one horse power per cubic inch ford and Chevy made several engines that made one HP per cubic inch Pontiac not so much unless it had SD 455 heads
No a Holley double pumper will out perform any stock mopar carb and still get better gas mileage because its more efficient that's A fact
Thanks for the upload Nick.
Our pleasure!
The thing I love about your work Nick is you DO THE RIGHT THING. You don't take any short cuts. Rare in today's world buddy. Great job man. Carb spacer? a little more plenum volume?
