[1968 Charger]

For sale is a Mopar 340 engine, May 9th 1969 build date. Original block and racing X heads. It has a 1972 340 4bbl. intake. The carburetor is an Edelbrock 1407 2411. This engine ran under my watch before I pulled it out. I have a YouTube video to provide you that fact. The 340 has the OEM distributor that has a points set-up. The engine had headers instead of the stock manifolds. Does not have the OEM air cleaner, instead it has a chrome aftermarket air cleaner.

E in that code below the head mean 1969 model year.

In the pic of pass side, one with oil filter in it, there is a flat machined pad, just below the side drain plug. There should be a VIN or sequence number stamped in the pad.

Thanks for the heads up

That's a typo on my part, changes were made. Also I will look for the VIN and share it in here.

Do you know what the current bore size is?

Do you know what the current bore size is?

To the best of my knowledge the bore size is stock which is 4.040 inch bore.

I never had this motor torn apart under my watch.

Thanks for asking.

Any way you would be willing to split up the block from the rest of the engine? I'm just looking for a standard bore 340 Block. How certain are you that it is standard bore? The painted block makes me wonder if it has been rebuilt before... I cannot use a .030" over block... needs to be STD bore.  Thank you
