So I am looking at putting new Edelbrock heads(60779) on my 340 Duster The heads I am buying are assembled but I need to know what else I need to put them on.

~Will my rocker arms and other stock parts transfer over to the new heads? I know they come with valves, seats, springs. But I don't really know what else I will need.
All help will be great!

Every thing will swap.. With the cost of aluminum heads, you might consider 1.6 rocker arms. Make sure the springs will work with your cam..

 

my brother has eddy heads on his 340 but thats punched. 60 over and completly built what heads did your 340 have and what year 340 was it

 

I recommend blueprinting them before installation. The Eddys I put on my 440 were all over the map, almost like the cnc operator was drunk that day or something. I didn't realize until they had 600 or so miles on them so i couldn't return them. I had them gone through at a local shop and love them now.

 

My SBMopars are still in the box, my son's 351W Fords were checked out by our machinist and passed his scrutiny just fine. His main concerns were the valve seal type and spring cup, both good. Guide clearance and seats good too.

I would take them to a trusted machinist as our's said and another Chev fella said about his AFRs that the manufacturers are going with the cheapest bidders on components to compete in the marketplace.

 

Awesome that's what I needed to know guys! Thanks again.

That's a good idea about blueprinting them. And I am not sure about the year of the engine, but its a factory style camshaft in it.

 

um just wondering because 73 340s are externaly balanced and are sorta junk
