I have a '69 340 motor, disassembled but complete. Wondering what the average value might be for something like this?
Yes, they are 2.02 X heads.Condition is everything, especially the block. There are plenty of .040 over blocks out there. A good standard bore block will bring top dollar. Forged crank adds value but not as much as it used to since there are plenty of options on new cranks now and you have the stroker kits that are very popular. Same with the heads. If they are X they are valuable to the restoration crowd.
Keep it if you can.
It's worth more in your garage/possession...than after its sold and gone for good.. Trust me.
I paid $1,200 for a 68 340 then spent $3,800 rebuilding it. if I had it to do over I probably would have just bought a crate motor and saved a lot of time as mine wasn't matching #'s so that didn't matter.

Not so fast...340's are "hysterical" and there are those that want a classic.
But lots of guys don't care about that and won't pay extra to get one.

They always were "top shelf" to say the least. If you knew where one( a 340 engine) was for sale you had to get there first with cash in hand. They just didnt pop up for sale regularly and people held on to them. Some got raced dirt track roundy round and drag raced etc. The Chevy "DZ" 302 is another rare engine that doesn't appear often.I agree, 340's are hard to come by. In the past 30 years I have only sold 2(to close friends) and I now have about 8 of them.
