1970 390 Service Replacement Motor Standard bore 4.165 Rebuildable complete
olong block with 291 heads Perfect motor for numbers matching car Service
Replacement"" Multi-Displacement Block There was also a ""Service
Replacement"" block made as a modified GEN-3 design. This is a 401 casting
(same casting number) without the displacement cast into the side and with a
360 bore and thicker deck. In theory this single block could be built as any
343-401 GEN-2 or GEN-3 engine. A dealer could stock one or two blocks to use
for warranty replacement. It was also sold as a heavy duty racing block,
which is speculated to be the real reason it was produced in the first
place. It appeared in 1970 in time for the 1971 Trans-Am racing season.
Since it was a standard factory part it did not have to be homologated under
T/A rules, and was not used in the 1501 ""Mark Donohue"" Javelins built to
homolgate the ""duck tail"" spoiler. Those received standard 360 or 401
engines. $3000.00 or best offer Joe Booth boothx3@xxxxxxxxxxx 315 737 0066
