im making an 84 dodge d100 into a wanna be rumble bee.....im puttin either the 440 i have into it or the recently aquired 340 into it....the 440 is out of an old motorhome and the 340 is out of an old dodge pickup.....im putting a mopar purple camshaft into it with .484 lift...port and polished heads...aluminum crankshaft....aluminum roller rockers...edlebrock 750cfm carb and edlebrock brushed aluminum intake but still dont know what i should put for pistons....and what do yall think for valve covers...chrome or mopar performance aluminum black ribbed.....

 

I like the black mopar covers and matching cleaner combo.

 

Aluminum crankshaft?? Never heard of that in my 72 years.

 

Thats new to me too, wouldn't think aluminum wold hold up, definetely lighter though. I like the project idea. Make sure you post pictures when she is done

 

ALUMINUM CRANKSHAFT? PLUS YOU WERE NOT CLEAR AS TO WHAT MOTOR YOUR GOING TO PUT THIS BILLION DOLLER CRANK IN???? AND AS FAR AS VALVE COVERS THE FINNED MOPAR ONES WONT FIT IN A TRUCK ON A BIG BLOCK EVEN WITH THE SMALL BRAKE BOOSTER WITHOUT MOVING THE BOOSTER TO THE RIGHT 1/2 TO 1 INCH...SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DREAM...DO A LITTLE MORE READING AND PLAN THINGS OUT....WHAT DID THE 340 ORIGINALLY COME OUT OF ? OR WHAT YEAR IS IT VS. THE 440 ? DODGE TRUCKS NEVER CAME WITH 340'S FROM THE FACTORY....ARE YOU PLANING ON BUILDING ONE OF THESE OR JUST STABBING THE CAM IN,CLEAN IT UP AND RIDE? DETAILS MAN DETAILS...
