68 340 engine or good block wanted

hey ken..

the guy wants 900 for just the block... it has been all cleaned up by a shop and is powder coated mopar turqoise.. it basically looks new.. the most important part to me is that it is date coded some like june 14, 1968 .. which would make it an accurate fit for my 68 formula s. i haven't seen many '68 340's around with the correct dates on them so i'm willing to pay a little more for this one.

what do you think???

Corrcet me if I'm wrong but I've been told "rule of thumb, red engines have steel cranks and blue engines have cast cranks."
A 68 340 would be red.
A June 68 block is too late for your car anyway
