Question about the price of 340s
People ask so much because stupid people pay that much. Like a rusted slam the FARK out Duster for 10K or a seized small block for over 1500. Stupidity at its finest. A 340 is worth zero more than any other small block, unless you happen to have what it came out of. Anything else is someone trying to get one over on you. Don't let it happen. As others have recommended, find a 360.
