Hi everyone my name is Dennis .I have been a car guy for over 40 years in the early 80s I bought a real 1974 duster 360 4 speed car from a customer where I worked as a mechanic The engine had a spun rod bearing . I rebuilt the engine and was surprised to see it was a 340 date code 6/13 or 19 /67 .I loved this car.In the mid 80s I replaced it with a 1974 360 because it had a rod knock.I sold the car in 1993 because I needed a set of heads for my race car big mistake.I still have the 340 short block and would like to see it used some day it has team moose stamped on the back of the block maybe a local shop in so cal where I bought the car.looking for any info on this early 340 Thank you every one

With a June 13, ‘67 casting date it does make it an early ‘68 block as they would’ve started building the ‘68s in July of ‘67. There shouldn’t be a VIN on it, they didn’t start that until the midway through the ‘68 model year iirc..
