340 short block - what's it worth?
I just yanked the 340 out of my duster. Origins of the engine are unknown.
The fella who built the engine for the car was deceased when I bought it.
The J-heads are for sale here separately.
It's a 340 rotating assembly - crank, con rods, pistons, cam, timing chain, etc.
The cam is a sold lifter. I will try and get some numbers off the cam and determine the specs.
The engine had no knocks, nor did it burn any oil and they guy I bought the car from just "showed" it, never ran it anymoe than getting it on and off the trailer.
It had a 671 blower on it and I blew a head gasket after I bought the car and did a few burnouts and actually RAN the thing.
After replacing the head gasket I decided to have a long block built from the ground up that was designed for a blower with the proper cam, low comp pistons and ringed heads and that'll be done next week.
so - what's my 340 short block worth - it's complete except for the oil pump which I used on the new engine.
