Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???
One of my biggest issues is the ad that
@318willrun posted. The seller says "as pictured with a micrometer, the piston measures a bit over 4". What is the point of the micrometer if you can't read it? Just found that funny. Like a scale...1" plus 3 little lines. Otherwise, free with a $1400 head start, I would pick the 318. Nowhere did anyone speak of resale, any other displacement, etc.
Selling a 69 Mopar 340 Long block. Casting #s are the following: Heads: " X heads " 2531894 340 1968-70 2.02 1.60 valves; Block: 2780930 340 1968-73.
I've owned this engine in present state for 16 years.
As pictured with the micrometer, the piston measures a bit over 4", which specs show to be standard bore of 4.04". I did my best to keep it oiled up over the years, but the bores do need a slight overbore due to rust. Sale includes every part pictured. All rods and main caps are stamped with cylinder # for properly balanced reassembly. This engine has always been in a garage since I've owned it. I'm not willing to sell parts separately- this is a package deal only.
