Not sure what the issue is there. A 70 340 could have either X or J heads on it. More likely to have J heads as they were the parts for the 70 model year. Some 70 340's even had an X on one side and a J on the other.

I think an J on a 70 340 did happen on factory cars. The J is really an O that's cutout with machining.

70 340 six pack ARR/challengers have "J" heads. It might be a early vs late 1970 thing.
 
I'd have to pull the head and ck the valves. It was all the loose parts the new gear box that's gone I posted all of it.

Very good point. And really all cars bought that are "restored" should be gone through heavily. In the thread I linked to above CudaLou said he spent half a day looking at a car Cmekallm was selling and then made an offer on the car.
 
Numbers cut out of the trunk oh loose bumpers worn interior gauges don't work etc. said he placed the heater core. He did not. Didn't even give me the one he said was in the trunk. And the screwed up title not in his name and signed in the wrong place

Do you read English? I said I like the car but there is stuff missing and the title is jacked. I debated even saying anything so that's why waited and I keep finding more wrong. I love the car I'm saying he wasn't totally honest and I did not ck it out in person I relied on his honesty

This is the thread?

[FOR SALE] - 1970 DODGE DART SWINGER 340 4 SPD

Now, I don't want to sound like a dick here, but that thread is from 3 months ago. How come you waited until now?

Because I debated even saying something. And the title had put me over the edge His brother in law said it had a new gear box and I wondered how the aligned the car with a very loose box on it than I realized he took it off and judging by all the other loose stuff it now makes sense

I'm in another state I've had people call me on cars and I was totally honest. It's called having honor. I've driven to other states to look at cars they said were great and they were junk. I'm talking about 27k cars not a 4 door valiant

So what do you have to say about a title that I can't get fixed because he didn't legally own the car

It sounds like he's unraveling more and more stuff as he dives into the car. When you look at a car for sale you don't bring a tool chest and checking the torque on every bolt on someone else's car.

I think the OP's message is for FABO members to check car purchase more carefully and don't make the same mistakes he did.

There are plenty of classic car owners that have bought cars with similar disappointments...

...Just most won't publicly admit them.

Just saying, I wouldn't spend 27K for a car and not look at myself or have some one check it out for me. Sorry you were disappointed with the car. Yes, it wasn't as perfect as you expected but you didn't do your job either. The car looked great in the photos in the sale thread. When that's all you look at when you buy the only person to blame when you're not happy with your purchase is yourself. Caveat emptor my friend. Nobody's fault but your own that the car wasn't checked over with a fine tooth comb so you paid for what you expected. Obviously your idea of perfect and his was two different things and it's too bad there are people out there that want to take buyers to the cleaners. Thanks for pointing the seller out. We can all be cautious if he wants to sell here again but as I said earlier, we're done here.
