naw i dont think so he lives close to me in San jose

 

[rumblefish360]

Thats cheap. I have seen bare blocks go for $700.

 

[ValiantMike]

I agree. $500 for a decent 340 is a good price these days. Should be a straight up swap, maybe some mount changes are in order, and possibly a difference in balancing. Is this a bolt in and go 340?

if the heads a J or X ill most likely get it . he said it was a 69

 

[72_Durstya]

if its a 69 it should have X heads, unless they've been switched over the years.

$500 for a complete 340 you better jump on that..i paid $275.00 for a 340 block with main caps,and thats still not a bad price..

I paid $500 for a really nice standard bore '71 340 block with main caps last spring and people told me I got a good deal. It only had to be bored .020" over to clean it up.
