Agreed..but a 67' block just would be a cool find. Once I get my own eyes on it I will get dirty and go for the casting date.
The engine still has the exhaust manifolds on it so I will run those #'s to see what they are.
I had him look 3 different times to look for the date code stamped in the block but he couldn't see it. He was getting frustrated so that didn't push it. He is a Chevy guy that took the Barracuda on trade so I really didn't want to let him know what he has if you know what I mean.
Anyone out there have a 340 block stamped 1967 ? I am looking to buy a 65' Barracuda with a 340. Here are the casting #'s off the block provided by the owner. M340 02058067 2780930-340-2. Obviously someone changed the engine but isn't there suppose to be a letter in front of the 2058067...
Just amazing the cars they produced during that time period when the US cars changed so much..if you go to that site there are so many cool cars that guy has. The interiors are sweet too!
