340 prices

I paid $800 for one that needed a total rebuild. I expect to payabout$2,000 for the machine work. If the 340 has low mileage, then $2,500 with a good trans isn't bad at all IMO.

Key words supposed to be.. When buying used,odors like that you have to treat them as a rebuild able core. No more no less. $2500 is stupid high.

Exactly. Its a good running motor till you put it in your car and find out its burning oil and has no compression, makes noise etc. Unless its running in a car from a reliable source I wouldnt pay $2500
