Engine, Transmission & Rear End / Re: 340 stock gasmilage

Last post by Katfish - Today at 02:53:53 PM

Sounds about right, 340/518/3.73/60mph = 16.5
That's with OD, so it matches yours.

Same exact car, swapped in 5.7 for the 340, 150 more HP and now gets 20mpg.

I would do 3". That's what I will be doing on my 6.1 based 426 for my cuda. On my factory 6.1 SRT it came with 2.75 from the factory. An unofficial rule of thumb is over 550hp is time to go up to 3 inches

If you are on Facebook check out my page, Mopars with vintage custom wheels, lot`s of old school wheels on E, B and A bodies.

I love slots, both aluminum and chrome steel, Torque Thrusts, Cragars, Keystones and others all look good, color makes a difference.

May sound simple but...Check your grounds. Sounds like it could be a bad main ground that's building resistance as you drive until it gets to the point where it's impeding current flow to the coil. Since the starter requires even more current to operate it won't crank until the resistance in the ground circuit decreases by cooling off. You could temporarily route an additional ground cable directly from the battery to the engine to see if it makes a difference.
