Asking price?

 

[rockdodge]

Sorry about that, yes I would like to get 16,500 O.B.O

 

[rockdodge]

Price lowered to 8000 with out the 340. 11000 with the 340. I will sale the 340 separately for 3000.

Is the 340 a builder or has it been run? Exhaust and new valve covers included?

 

[rockdodge]

the 340 was built, I heard it run, but that was 20 years ago. The guy I bought it from ran in a drag car and he said it put out 400 horse. For street proposes I had the guy take out the solid cam and put in a hydraulic cam. I open the heads one day to look at it and there seemed to be some carbon build up. I am not a engine builder so I am not sure what this means. I want to be as upfront as I can be. Yes, the exhaust manifold and valve covers come with the engine as well as the gaskets and the fasteners (the valve covers are new, never been used) the 4 barrel intake manifold comes with it as well. For the 3000 I will also throw in the 727 auto trany if you want it. It came out of a 76 truck so the torque converter will need to be changed out, as I have told. Were are you located at? I could possibly meet you somewhere closer to ID. Thanks.

Thanks for that, but I need to think about the 340. I already have a 408 that was going in another car, but re-thinking that now.

Here is the fender tag, I believe a 318 from the factory.
