Ready to fire the 340

[cosgig]

Been working hard on getting the 340 ready to fire. I think I’m about there!

Fire it off the side of the ship, for an anchor?

How long will it be before someone posts what's the VIN it may be the match to my car?

 

[ragtopfury]

Warranty block. No VIN.....

I checked for a VIN stamp, there is none. It’s a 68, nothing on the bellhousing flange.

 

[ragtopfury]

How many "warranty" blocks had their stolen VIN removed with acid and files? Haha

It looks like it was involved with a match, in some, way, or, form but is not a match.

No over heating problems and does not burn oil. Ready to run in your next project…

Admit it, you drove to Hell and bought that engine

I did! And the boat it was in!

I worked with an old 426 max wedge that looked about like that, you'd be surprised what you find under that rust.

 

[mopar head]

I was surprised you all have a town named Hell up there. lol

 

[RustyRatRod]

Make sure you post a video.

Looks like my freash 67 HP that went Scuba diving a couple years ago. Oh be sure to keep it at 2500 so till the cam breaks in . Lol

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the whole patina thing is for body panels?

Facebook rebuild it. Pressure wash, spray paint and list.

Hey, @cosgig, that will fire up easy. Make sure it is outside, drizzle about 1/2 cup of gas all over it and then light it. It should 'fire' right up.

Dang right. Might could make a dollah or two.

Yep, about 4 miles from my house. We go there quite often, it’s down a nice winding road that’s very popular with the motorcyclists. There is only 3 buildings in the town, an ice cream store, a bar, and an abandoned building that used to be a trinket store. The bay has a really good fish dinner on fridays, and live music. It’s very popular around here.

I’m stripping it down and sending it over to the machine shop to have it checked out. It has the original X heads, intake and one exhaust manifold. It came from the honey hole. I think it was at the bottom of the hole tho, for a long time.

Submerge it in a tank of diesel for about a year before doing anything
