The car is coming along but I have the urge to ditch the 318 and build a mild 340 or 360. get differing opinions on which to be in the market for. I really want the 340 because of it actually being available for the 72 Challenger but a trusted friend suggests the 360 because of the availability. What should I expect to pay for a buildable 340? I have found someone with a stock (down to the TQ) 340 and 4 speed out of a 70 Dart. It is in a 76 Roadrunner that he wants to get rid of. I don't think that I have a need for the Roadrunner (rusty) but he doesn't want to separate it. I have also found a friend with a 360 mated to a 727 out of an rv with only 60,000 or so on it. 360 was running good at time it was removed. He thinks that the 360 is a 76 model.
I have a stock 4bbl manifold for a 360 on my 318 now and some nearly new parts like cam, lifters, Edelbrock carb, double chain, and electronic ignition. I could use them to help build either the 340 or the 360. Oh, one more thing. I have a good 904 with the slapstick and would like to upgrade to a 727.
Help me out again, guys. Thanks.
