cast date is 7-9-69, would this engine be for a 69 or 70



I have that engines BROTHER! My 340 block has that exact same date! I'll have to look to see if mine is a day or night shift.
I bought mine from a guy in my car club. The block is .030 and has replacement pistons. It came with a truck oil pan and a crank that was already .030 under! The main caps and windage tray were there though.
This motor was first planned to go into a 73 Dart Sport to make a 340 clone car. I ended up using a 360. I may use the 340 in a 71 Duster project later.
