I'd love to see that too, stroked 340 but the tooling costs alone would be astronomical!Just saw a '72 340 block w/main caps for $1195.00 are you shitting me..someone needs to start re-casting 340 blocks at a reasonable price they'd make a killing!!!

Good thing this isn't a sale thread.****, i'd sell my std bore 340 block, crank, rods and pistons for a grand..
There is a company that is 3D printing molds for sand casting. Brings the price down significantly BUT not enough!3D print??
I don't see the point in just a re cast of a 340 block, there's already a bunch of 360 blocks out there close enough. IF your gonna do it should come with bigger bore and handle more power.

Especially if you punch it out 60 thou your only 12 cid shy.No need for a 340 block, just use a 318 block.
I could grind that 360 off the block and turn it into a 340 with Splashzone so fast it would curl your hair.

Solid cores or 3D sand?There is a company that is 3D printing molds for sand casting. Brings the price down significantly BUT not enough!
Wasn't that changed for the better in the Nascar blocks?Aftermarket 340 blocks would cost around $4000 and they would probably still have the stupid lifters pointed sideways rather than at the rocker arm. The SB needs a redesign if it is going to worth tooling and I really doubt anyone is willing to invest that much money into the SB Mopar market these days
It all about volume. You can not compete with the volume of SBC and SBF users there are. Spend $300,000 to do a new 340 block and see how long it will take to
break even, if you ever do.
What would have worked 20-years ago doesn't work today.

LOL, nothing magical about the 340 number in my book. It is all in the heads, and I'll take my cylinders as thick as I can get.
True but a lot here judge by displacement alone. As long it's not followed by a B or RBLOL, nothing magical about the 340 number in my book. It is all in the heads, and I'll take my cylinders as thick as I can get.
