Saving a 71 340 for my V24 Duster
This is not the number matching motor for my rare 71 V24 Duster but it is the closest motor I could find. The block was cast 8 29 70 and the car left Hamtramack on 11-17-70. The motor sat outside without an intake for many years and when I tore it down there was a serious mouse house around the windage tray. The motor was going to the scrap yard and I gladly paid the $200 the guy was asking. I posted this thread to encourage others to try to save whatever you can. My diamond in the rough that to me helps me complete my dream car.
