Old Race 340 Teardown

I see both sides for keeping or selling. You will have almost as much in it to detune versus starting over. VERY cool piece and good luck with it!!!!


So he we be better off selling the X block and starting over with a production block? I hope he doesn’t do that. So far, all I see that needs to be changed is the cam and pistons and rods. I would probably throw a 4 or 4.125 crank in it while I was in there and run it. My quick calculation on cost to do the crank kit is 2300 dollars. That takes care of the pistons and all of that. A cam is 400 or 500 dollars. I figure 300 dollars to balance the crank. That’s under 3500 dollars and he keeps the X block and the heads and valve gear. It’s pretty hard to replace that stuff.
