Partial VIN on the block is ?
I think it says 9-28-70 on the side of the block right there but im not 100% sure about a partial vin. I asked the guy for more pictures of it. My favorite is the air filter...

That casting date is during the 1971 model year.
Ask him to look for a flat pad down low on the passenger side with 8 characters stamped in it.
Air cleaner looks like aftermarket with a sticker added.

The factory air cleaners didn't have separate lids did they?

How much for the GTS? Asking for a friend 
40 over 340 block $350 max IMO unless it's for your car.
The heads are nothing special and hard to give away.

This guy still has this for sale. 1970 340 block 40 over. 360 block is rough, told me 10-29 bucks and I could have the 360 block... lol told him I could get a complete running 360 for 150, which is how much it would cost to resleeve his blown 360 lol.
Here are the cylinders of the 340 block. Guy thinks its worth gold... told him couple hundred dollars is all its worth to me. Cylinders for the most part were pretty clean, I didnt feel many imperfections when running my hands down the cylinder walls. Tony brought up a good point on the ring stop, and if that is detectable with your fingernail it couldn't be honed out and would need bored.
Oh I also had to break it to him that his J heads were worth its weight in dirt...because you can get them for free... ask me how i know lol.
I measured it with his micrometer, but some spots it read 4.03/4.04 and others 4.07. So most likely tool user error... Tony says I can borrow a 40 over piston to measure them if I want though.
