Value of a 340
I paid $600 for my running, '68 340 with X heads.
Then again, I only paid $100 for a 360 with 727 trans, but the 360 needs rebuilding.
I love both, but the 340 will always be my favorite. I especially love it when guys ask me at the track if I'm racing a 340, and some get pissed because I'm running a rare engine.
I tell them that's what they were built for. 8)
I have two 340's, two 360's, three 318's, and one lone 440 that never gets built because we love our small blocks too much, lol.
