    Car 340 intake manifold for my boat?

    Sorry if this had been asked before. I came across a clean intake manifold for a 340, looks the same as the one in my boat, came from a 68'. I have a 74 340. Would these manifolds swap? They appear to be the same.

    Replace intake manifold?

    Hello, I have a good running 340 in my old 74' century resorter. I have done all of the exhaust manifolds within my ownership, they had a couple hairline cracks so I did it to avoid having more serious issues. I am wondering if I should be thinking the same way about the intake manifold. It is...

    Battery Advice?

    I have a 340 in a 18 ft century runabout. I have a single battery setup. I was using a deep cycle die hard platinum series marine battery, cranked very slowly, but it worked. The voltage regulator went on my last outing and I almost blew up the battery from over charging. So I am now going...

    74 Chrysler 340 Intake Manifold replacement question.

    I have a 340 in my old boat. When I removed the thermostat this year I noticed the manifold looked very pitted and rusty inside. I think I should replace it before I run into issues. Any tips from those who have done it before? Can I just use an Edelbrock intake manifold or does it have to be...

    Bought a new carb for spring install. Looking for tuning tips.

    Hello. I finally sprang for a new Edelbrock 1409 for my 74' 340. The rebuilt original carter was holding up OK, but I am really tired of having an non-working choke and I figured I would try something new. This was the carb that some of you guys recommended to me a couple years ago so it's...
