It was not 1970...first yr for the 340 was 1968
They didn't make E bodys until 1970 so I think it was 1970 because anything before that doesn't matter.

'68..... Mine is stamped June 19, 1967. Anyone got an earlier one that that?
I've got an early car, but the original engine was gone around 1980, so I have no idea what the casting date was on the 340 that was put in my 8/28/67 SPD GTS convertible, but it may have been earlier..........

Yeah...but they made E-bodies for 5 years (70-74)..but only made 340's during 4 of those years.

Any car made after 1969 and before the turbo Mopars is part of the dark ages anyway.......

If you think about it, there were only two engines that Chrysler never put in a New Yorker or a truck, Hemi's and 340's. So in my book other than those 2, all the rest are just truck engines.
