so I guess i'm looking for a 340 for my 69 dart

[nutz]

i'm going to start looking for 340 stuff to swap out my225
want it to look 100% oe but not worried about date codes or stuff like that
i guess 340 were made 68 to 72 is there any thing i should look for (72 better then 68 ect.)
not going anything crazy want it to idle nice /stock exhaust /stock air filter
are all the sb sub frames the same (or do i need only 69)
i know its a lot to ask but i do see on fb market place stuff coming up and if something is local i might jump on it
is there something to stay away from
i'll start read threw the forums
thanks paul

340 was 68~73 early were forged crank and internally balanced, later were cast crank and externally balanced.

why not go 360? cheaper and easier to source, same price to build.

you'll need motor swap mounts to keep your slant six k-member (subframe), or you can swap the K to a V8 one and use stock 340 mounts.

here's the link for that: '67-72 A-Body Slant 6 to 273/318 or 340/360

you'll also need a whole mess of other stuff: transmission, radiator, some light wiring and obviously exhaust. basically none of the slant stuff crosses over.

Not sure what your budget is but it can climb up very quickly if you need everything from engine to trans and rear end. To answer your question about the compatability any 340 engine can be installed in your dart. There was a 66 dart here for sale with a complete 340 drivetrain you could transplant. Good luck with your project.

Good luck on trying to find 340 out on the loose.
