Value of 1969 340?
I have a '69 340 motor, disassembled but complete. Wondering what the average value might be for something like this?
I am not being a smartass here. Something is only worth what someone will willingly pay for it on the free market.
Back in 1993 or 1994, I ended up selling my completely restored '67 barracuda convertible for around $4,200. That car was absolutely beautiful.
If the engine is completely disassembled and you lack receipts for magnafluxing and sonic checking the cylinders then as far as I would be concerned, it is nothing but a gamble for a core. I would only risk $200 for it. If you can prove it is a good core, you may get a decent price.
Your challenge is to find a buyer for a 340. You are competing against every pick-n-pull with a 5.9 magnum or 360LA, every tom, dick and harry here, and every potential scammer on Craigslist.
Also, keep in mind, that if you build a 318 to or better than factory 340 specs, your butt-dyno and timeslips probably won't be able to tell the difference.
