Yeah, pretty much what 70aarcuda said. The 340 was around for only 6 years and earned a reputation as a mean little motor. So, when you find one now, you'll usually have to shuck out a nice wad of cash to get it........that's just the way it is.

They are getting hard to find. Not a lot of them made. Not a lot of them left. Rust and accidents have clamed a lot of them as has drag racing. So to find a # matching 340 car that is still in original shap is hard to do any more.

How much invested in the 11.5 440 ??
the biggest 1 expense was a grand put into the heads and intake,again early 80's,the car came with .030 12-5 manleys,i added D.C. 312-590 lift cam,hooker race headers,4200 stall,man shift auto,ss springs 8-3/4 with 5.57 posi,yes i know gears were to big but the 4.88's and cam wouldn't work,that's all i could find,,don't get me wrong i parted with the car[only] and want to see how 340's run and needed a change,but wanted to stay MOPAR
