1972-73 340 bare block with caps

[Dr.Jass]

OK, this is an oddball. Casting date 09-24-71 but VIN stamped for a mid-year 1973 model. Cleaned, magnafluxed, rough-bored .025" over and ready for final hone. It will need a sleeve in #8 as a circlip fell out and scored the wall, but the magnaflux came back fine. 340s are getting hard to find; a repro block is damned-near 3 grand. $250 or best offer. I will ship.

 

[Stretch]

Talk to me. Shipping will be free as I'll pick it up if we can make a deal.

Damn, I have a '73 340 challenger with a 318 in it that could use that block. Too bad so far away, and I'm broke...

 

[Dr.Jass]

You're doing this just to cause me pain, aren't you v8440?

Make an offer, Stretch. Right now the only engine I'm not selling is the one from WH23H3A201396. Both 360s are on the chopping block as well.

 

[Stretch]

I'll give you a call.

 

[Dr.Jass]

This here block be sold to Stretch, a.k.a. Big McLargehuge.

 

[thrashingcows]

Nice...which car is it intended for...The duster?

 

[71ChargerRT]

Stretch has a Duster? I think he's getting an early Valiant.

 

[Dr.Jass]

I believe it's for the 1965 Valiant that's being held for him. He does not own a Duster.

 

[Stretch]

Yep. Its a '65 valiant. No Duster here!
