I have a complete from pan to carb original 1971 Dodge Plymouth 340 Motor. J-Heads, factory 3512100 4 barrel intake. original exhaust manifolds. Original Thermoquad carburetor with idle solenoid. Throttle linkage with partial kick down (so it was obviously out of an automatic car). Even has a points distributor. Only things missing are the cap, plug wires, lower pulley, and original valve covers.

I do not know the history of the engine other than the VIN on the block is 1B311565. I got the motor in trade for some work and was planning on putting it into my 1972 Demon. Now that I see that it is actually a '71 motor, I am changing plans. A buddy of mine has a 1972 340 with my name on it

I was told it ran when it was pulled but I am saying it needs to be gone through and/or rebuilt. Yes, it is ugly and greasy but rather than clean it up and give it an aerosol overhaul, I wanted you to see it in it's true condition. Yes, it spins over by hand, freely.

Casting date is 6-30-70 so it is correct for an early 1971 Challenger Cuda Charger Duster Dart Demon or any other 71 Mopar. Granted you could put it in whatever you want.

I do not have any other parts for it. What you see is what you get. I do not want to ship it. You must come & pick it up with cash.

This is not a fire sale. I do not "have to sell it". You will notice I did not use the words must sell in the description so please don't insult me with low ball offers. I can always shove it under a bench until I find another '71 Challenger to drop it in.

$1800

Cleaned up the area under the driver side head and found the build info on it

[FONT=&quot]Gw340p34400653


This is what somebody told me that breaks down to:


[/FONT][FONT=&quot]G-1971 model production year[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[FONT=&quot]W-Windsor Ontario Canada engine plant[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]340-CID[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]P-Premium fuel only[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3440- Day 3440 is Monday, December 28, 1970 assembly date[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]0653-Sequence engine built that day[/FONT][/FONT]

Although, the 344th day of 1970 was Thursday, December 10th according to my research...
 
Also, found out the carb is NOT the original one. It is a 6322S which is actually from a 1973 440 engine. As such, I am lowering the price to $1600
 
u went from 1800 to 1200 in a flash. but its not a fire sale and no lowballers. lmao..

Here is a link to an engine ID thread. the last picture in the first post has a chart to decode this information.

It does not translate the build date info.

I would tend to believe that the build date is Dec 10th, as I question if they were working on Dec 28th. Usually the auto industry gets from Christmas Eve until after New Years off with union contracts....
