"after total rebuild by FTTC Automotive Department instructor" OK then.. I guess I know what your knowledge level is.
First start genius...after a rebuild.... crank to build oil pressure with no FIRE!
WOW who in the Fcuk are these guys? A shame really... take a "unicorn Motor" like that and have someone like " backyard bob" mucking around with it...a true shame.
I remember the 340's were designed strictly for small block power, to allow Dodge/Plymouth entry into the T/A. So they produced a small block that was under 355 inches or so just like Ford, GM, and I think AMC , for eligibility into the Trans-Am.
And the true "Baby Hemis" were the 331, 354,and the 392 . I think I'm missing one though except the venerable 426 Hemi. I liked those dual spark plugged Hemis, pretty rare though.I gotta pic of a 4 x 4 bbl Mopar crossram intake if any of you's int. ?

without water, motor need turn couple time for oil wetter up the motor or running until bang, no good,all parts' money down the drain.. your choose wisely or stupidly.
I didn't know that.I was just mentioning that the 340 was called The Baby Hemi because it could very easily run with the big block competiton from 1968-1973.
man you dont start a fully rebuilt engine and rev it up thats a good way to have it to start raddlen my dad would kick my ass if i did that to his new rebuilt engine

technically you don't let them idle either because the cam won't get broke in properly about 300 rpm for 20 minutes will do the trick
