Very early 1st year 340 bare block. Fully machined this past spring, .030 over with caps. Fully checked out, align bored and honed with deck plate, etc. Had one sleeve. Have receipt from well known high performance/race shop in my area. Too many projects lately, so I gotta let some stuff go...
Cast 6/22/67 and I think the number reveal it was assembled in September of 67...
Previous inquiries have asked about the vin stamping. Being an early Block, there is not a pad above the oil pan rail. The stampings below the distributor, adjacent to the bell housing are very hard to distinguish and pics will do no good. My best interpretation of these #’s:
8P737(8 or 6) JJ 3
This has to be among the very first 340’s to go into production. Super-find for someone looking to do a period correct GTS/Formula S. Core plugs and Cam bearings installed. No Crank, but have a friend who may part with one reasonably. Asking $2500
Pair of bare X Heads. 1968-71 P/N 2531894. These were checked-over by the machine shop, but only hot tanked. No valves or springs, but I have a pair of rocker shafts, adjustable arms and new adjustable screws. I believe I have a set of cup pushrods as well. Whatever I have for the heads can go with it. Asking $700
A-body 8 3/4 housing, complete and unaltered w/backing plates and original small bolt axles. I think I only have one brake drum. Asking $700
(Have a set of open 2.76 gears/489 case available at add’l cost if you need a set)
Heads up, I’m not crazy about shipping any of this stuff.
I apologize to those from across the country that have inquired previously. I’ve had too much going-on to consider packin’/shipping and don’t see things letting up to do that anytime soon.

Thank you FABO
