67 Barracuda rolling resto

Sorry to hear about the 340, RIP. What have you decided to do? May I suggest spending some $$$ on a "new" engine versus throwing good money at the old 340? Perhaps Chrysler Compatible Small Block Crate Engines
I really want to build my own engine again. I've only built once before and want to improve on the experience. I'm going to look at a 360 short block tomorrow, time permitting. Came out of an '82 Dodge 250 with 103K miles. They want $325. If I get it hot tanked and bored, it should be about another $500. Hopefully the crank will be good too, saving me another $300.
