Found: 68 GTS Engine

This is not matching my 68 GTS. But....... I have a 72 340 in my GTS that i would like to swap out with a 68. I know it would be nice if it could go back into the numbers car. Are you going to let it go even if the match does not show up? You did not say that you were going to let it go at all but I assumed that your intention was to send it back to its original body. I have a really clean original 4 speed GTS that would give it a great home. I was just out your way in Portland last week and went to the cruise in over at PIR. WOW there are a ton of nice cars over your way and over a 1000 cars on a Wednesday is amazing. Good Luck.

Yes I would let it go to but only to someone who is going to use it in a GTS. The likelihood of the true VIN car owner finding this post is minuscule. I contacted the GTS registry and they said that they have no documentation on the matching VIN vehicle. If I was looking for a GTS motor to match my car that is the first place I would go.

With that said, I also have a goal of de-Frankensteining my car. It's a Coronet R/T clone and even has the 440 Magnum scoop emblems. (I feel guilty every time I look at them) But, I really love my 340 and would only really consider a trade for a like 440. I suspect this example is the next shelf up from mine. Mopar 440 rebuilt complete carb to pan

I am willing to put in the work to make a trade happen if the right one comes up. Frankly, the logistics of an engine swap are kind of daunting since mine is in the vehicle.
