Yes you are. That happens to be the incredibly rare "rare earth red" version of the 318, which was installed by Chrysler for those customers who later wanted to upgrade to a 340. This was officially known as the "318 update" option, and came with the limited "expandable" exhaust manifolds which when bolted to a 340 automatically detected the larger ports and adapted themselves.
Also, this engine came with the rare 273/318/340 crank, and came with a complete 340 top end stored in a special crate in the trunk. Unfortunately, no one has ever actually SEEN these crated top end pieces, because every single one known to exist was stolen by employees before the car ever got to, or left, a dealership.
The seller is incorrect on one minor point, and that is, this does not have OEM A/C brackets. Nevertheless, these rare versions are worth a LOT more than the asking price.

Thats worth way more than $500.00 LOL
Is there somewhere where I can find that list of "all the right parts to make it a 340" ?

Could this perhaps be one of the VERY rare 318 WEDGE motors???? LOL
He forgot to mention the rare factory 340 two barrel intake. The factory experimental two barrel ThermoQuad is probably being used on his 383 Hemi Police Package Valiant.

Look after sitting for 20 plus years it is now rare and hard to find in this great condition.Mother nature had been doing her best to season it like a fine wine or aged like single malt whiskey...Oh and he forgot to mention that the Smithsonian offered him $10,000.00 but he would rather sell it to a true mopar guy and see it returned to it true glory.This is why for $500 its a great deal!!!!
