Should I sell?
I am thinking about selling the 340 in my 70 Dart. I am in the process of body and paint and it is looking like it is going to take longer than I thought to even get the engine bay shot. (Mainly due to time and unforeseen life roadblocks). The motor was finished a year ago and only has about 100 miles on it. I was working on the tune here and there, when I realized the suspension on the car was worse than anticipated, making it hard to drive. It is now out of the car and on the stand, waiting for the engine bay paint.
My question is should I sell the 340 and do a 5.9 swap, when I’m ready? I know the 5.9 makes good power for relatively cheap. Thoughts?
I'm not tied to the fact that I have a 340 and thought maybe someone who is doing a resto could get more use out of it.
The motor is:
68 block
KB 167 .040
Comp 268H
Forged cranked
RPM Airgap
J Heads 2.02 Intake
Adjustable rocker arms
Edelbrock Thunder AVS 650
MSD ignition.
