what was done to the block after the machine shop clean up? Is it a long block that needs assembly to be complete or needs to be assembled to get to long block?

engine had a seasonal go over everything checked and any faults taken care of
needed new valve guides and replaced seats on x heads , 3 angle valve job
did not need new pistons or anything like that,all good ,engine is currently apart for inspection due to sale and just needs to be put back together with fresh rings and bearings and gasket set. have everything to put back together except flywheel or flexplate
casting numbers available will trade
for bodywork and paint job of equal value 3k on 62 lancer

yep .look at pics ,the car does not need rotiseree has just minor paint flaking from old paint job and some bubbles and no collision work and only 53k miles,so i feel is a fair trade to strip paint
finish some minor bubble issues and paint and clear coat.
cheers
also friend owns media blasting shop and restoration facility
rustbusters in lithonia ga and i know what is involved.

you might be right
engine is worth more than 3k and # was arbitrary paint wise
but times are changing and cash not a commodity
in either industry and have many friends that paint for a living folding businesses
the deal is fair
and is what i am offering and will stick to it.

alfonso, you might want to check on supplies to paint a car. They have skyrocketed in the past year or so. You're gonna be looking at around 2000-2500 for supplies alone. It's ridiculous.

i decided to leave car as survivor for a while and shuffling funds and clearing the v8 out.it is selfish to hold on to something for the sake of saying i have one.it does nothing for the soul
the gas is too crazy for me to do anything but enjoy car as it is ,and selling the 340 to
let someone else play with it and free up some cash for other things.so anybody need a fresh engine with all the machining and fitting done ,pm me
