340 plans

I definitely understand what you're saying. I guess it's just not always about the money for some people. He said he got a good deal on it. Maybe it was the only one around where he lives??? What's wrong with taking the car and making it his own no matter what it was from the factory. All he did was ask for opinions on his 340 build.
It's not about money , it's about an H car that is hard to find these days , at least one that is ORIGINAL low miles, not restored , not beaten to death . That's MY opinion , don't like to see them H cars modified to death . I have 2 H cars , and I use a spare motor I rebuilt to drive and race , put in an overdrive , (gas is 1.70+ a litre) but keep all the original parts ready to put back on , all bolt on easy to put back to original .
Putting a hemi in there will take some major mods , if I did it it would be on a 318 or 225 Dart . And I think the hemi Dart is a great idea , just not a low mile original H car
