1972 340 with the cast crank but never been bored out, still 4.04. All there--seen pictures with heads off--its old but looks decent. $600 wasn't like the buy of the day but hes not too far from where I was hoping to take a road trip on next week. Seems like a very honest seller on ebay. Claims he used the motor a few years back and it was fine but he was going to restore a 71 Dart but being laid off hes selling everything. Comes with oil pan up to a carb..everything is there but I plan on selling what ever I can expect for the block and rods..
Found a cool engine shop today too. Guy walked me though how to ID cast vs forged pistons and cranks.
Going to St Louis next week and can pick the motor up on the way back home--just 10 miles out of my way--how cool is that--another reason I agreed to $600.
What is in St Louis---drag racing--all night long--9pm to 2am..Outlaw St Louis style-- instant green lights! So fastest car wins--not best driver.
