1.4 to 1.7 engine swap

Hi,

I found a 340 with a perfect rust free body but the engine and transmition is is dead. I was wondering if it's easy to swap the 1.7 engine and transmition from my 340? Are the engine mounts the same or there has to be some modifications done? What else should I swap from the old one to make it ...

The driveshaft I found was on something like ebay, the guy said that it was from his 343 diesel automatic. I haven't seen an automatic diesel either. Anyway looking at how weak the engine is and how slow the car is with manual transmition it must be like a turtle with automatic :)

driveshaft

Hi,
My 340 has a driveshaft which needs to be replaced soon. I found a used one really cheap but it's from a 340 with automatic transmition and diesel engine. Can anyone tell me if it will work with mine 340 if it has manual transmition and 1.7 engine?

low revs on 320 1.7

Hi,
I have a small problem with the revs on my 340. When the engine is cold the revs are about 500 and when I drive and press the clutch they tend to fall really low and the car starts to shake because the engine doesn't work steadily on such low revs, sometimes the engine dies. When the engine ...

I got my car back today and it runs great now. The mechanic changed the carb seal and all the filters also he adjusted the carb. From what he told me the carb was set to almost max and it was basically flodding the engine with fuel, but that's the previous owners fault who never adjusted it. He also ...
