340 for $300.

[stan marshall]

I just found a 340 short block # 2780930-340-2. It has a small chip
at the bottom of the cylinder about 1/2" by 3/4". The crank looks good and the bores look smooth. It is 30 over. Can it be fixed? He wants $300.
But his dad said he would take $250. Can you tell what year by the #s and is $ 250. A good deal?
Thanks stan

340s not hard to find wow

The chip block may have came from a thrown rod at one time.

Might not hurt anything thou.

It depends on how worn out the bores. If a .010 hone would clean it up, great

I wonder if a sleeve would take care of the problem.
