This fits perfectly into the origin of the thread.......the cost of a 340...WHY an asking price of $1700.00 for a seized engine???.........WHY???????? Since we are all liking to wax nostalgic about the good old days, "in the day" this would be hauled off for scrap, not a second thought about it, OR.....MAYBE some one MIGHT show interest and MAYBE take it home for free, they wouldn't pay a dime for it.
Selling it's fine........lets be realistic about the price, it's a huge gamble, the block very well might be junk, price should reflect condition, yet since it's a 340 it's gotta be worth a million dollars, even if it's junk.
