I've thought of that route as well. By the time I add heads, crank, Rods, pistons cam and machine work I'm probably close to the price of the 408 crate that is built by pros.
Maybe I can sell off the 340 for someone that needs it

That I can't argue with that especially if you live in a large urban area and shop costs are high. If my 340 ate it, I'd probably go that rout too.

Is your 340 original to your car? If so, I'd keep it.
