Lookee what I bought

[70DartMike]

A guy at a car show offered me a 340 about a week ago, and I've been offered before but they usually want very high prices, so this guy said 'It's in pieces, so how about a couple hundred'. So I went to look at it, and bought it for $250. Took the book with the numbers in it as well. The block reads out to be 1968 - 1972 340 block, heads are real X heads, intake manifold read out to be a 1968 340 intake. And 340 rods, crank, etc.

This may not seem like a good deal to some of you, but up where I live these are nearly impossible to find.

Good luck with that! I hope it all machines out well for a great engine.

HAH! A buddy drinks that and left some at my house. Why do you think it's still sitting there?

[70DartMike]

Haha, well, if you drink Lucky, I hope you know where it comes from.

Must be the Canadian exchange rate or something, cause down here that stuff would be about double that, maybe more. Good score, just the X heads should be worth the 250$. Build yourself a sweet package with that stuff, and good luck with your project, Geof

 

[70dart]

awesome scores both of you!

 

[homecloned]

Great find on both deals, way to go.:cheers:

[drunkerthanyou]

no matter how bad the economy gets, there's always cash for beer and car parts! the nice thing now is some people who hoard this stuff are starting to let it go.

We mix American beer with baby formula up here to get the little mopar guys pointed in the right direction.

Guys, guys, why do you think that beer is still sitting there? If it was good beer it wouldn't still be sitting there.

Alright, a fellow LEGO kid! My dad made that stuff for MANY years. I still have an army trunk full of it too! Samsonite made the trunk too! LOL! And oh ya, nice part score!

In Canada we can all it "Beer" with pride! In the US it is just foamy apple juice! Good job scoring the 340 parts guys, up here in Canada they are Gold!

ah man.....that looks like a real decent find on the parts..... around here those items are few and far in between for prices like that.

glad you had the cash at hand to pick it all up.
