I started to clean out garage and sell some of the thing I have save all this years. Just checking what this may be worth. 1970 340, J heads with 202 valves ,was pulled out of a wrecked car, tore down greased up and put in storage over thirty years ago.

Late 1970 model year casting, does it have a 1970 or 1971 partial VIN?
 
Only worth what people are willing to pay for it? It's not Hemi. Under $1000 at best.
 
How far are you away from Tonawanda? I have a friend there that maybe could look at it for me.
 
I just sold a 70 short block with loose "J" heads for $1100 in Illinois two weeks ago. Sold another 70 long block for $1200 in March. Both were standard bore but needing everything, both buyers were very happy. Don't sell it for under $1000.

Thanks you for the info.
 
$1000 is a very good price for what you have, don't give it away they are to hard to come by these days. Std bore never blown up, no repairs $1000 for bare block if you ask me. There is a guy by me that wants $2000 for a fully machined 340 block, he has 2 and they both have sleeves, 1 has 2 the other has 3 and they are both .060 over. I would never buy one with that much work done to it.
 
You do need to get it good and clean and some good pictures.

I have had it since the early 80's. I pick up a couple went they were plentiful. got a lot of a body part that I need to thin out. more then I will use for my projects.
 
With all those items, no cracks, 1K pretty easy is my guess. That number would be a decent deal for a buyer for all that stuff being std measurements. You could likely get more to the right buyer
 
Just remember guys, if you want to make a deal,send a private message please. Remember, this is not a sale thread. Thanks and carry on.
 
Thanks for all the input. I know to get the most out of I need to clean up the grease off all the parts. I was checking what the valve was. Thanks
