340 Block Cost

Well, then buy it for you if you want. You now have instructions on how to save it. Use the 340 for the stroker. Seriously, what are your chances of ever finding the car it came out of? That would be the only reason in my mind to not use it for a stroker. The 340 block is arguable thicker than a 360 so it's stronger. No reason in the world not to use it and then you have an engine that you'll like on a lot of levels.
Solid advice! Appreciate it man
