Any ideas what this 340 may have come out of?

A late 69 Dart or Barracuda

Barry might be able to narrow it done further

Dang, was hoping it was out of an E-body.
Any more info on what the numbers mean?
I'm guessing the 1st digit, "9" is the model year?
What about the rest?

Thx

But the good thing is they made a lot less 340's in 1969.

Ok, so how do you know it's from a Dart?

Found this in the GTS registry, doubtful it's a match.
I picked up my car around 1995 in south Florida, from a guy I knew that had it for awhile before that. Most likely the engine came from another Florida car.

LS27P9B413***: GTS#606: This is a One-of-58 built 1969 GTS 340 4 speed convertible! Located in Michigan, Mike C. is performing a rotisserie restoration on his rare convertible. The body is painted B5 Bright Blue with black convertible top, black interior, and black bumble bee stripe. This was all powered by a 340, 4 speed, and 3.55 gears.

Still looking for the original 340 for my 69 GTS 1 of 58 convertible, but my VIN is 306021 darn it! frown That must have come out of a very rare late 69 car with the orange 340... stirthepot

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Yes 9 is the model year of the car it went into

An E body in 70 would have a 0

Could be a 1969 GTS or 340 Swinger block. The 413*** GTS #606 referenced above was built approx. 280-290 after this one. That car would have been built early/mid-June, 1969.
