Need a complete 340 cyclone engine or sled!

Post by jdxrobin »

Hi guys,
I am looking for a 340 engine from a Cyclone with the CDI and carb to put in my JDX4. Preferably running or needing a slight freshening up. I did not think it would be that hard to get a hold of one when I started this project :shock: .
Anybody semi-close to the Twin Cities have one :pray: ?...Outlaw grass drags in Princeton?
I would be OK with a road trip...maybe up north someplace (that was for you Don).

Thanks everyone.

Most definitely!
I am looking to create something different, but would like to get as much reliability as possible with the CDI and Mikuni(s) (yea, I'm trying to keep a straight face myself!).
I have a buddy who is a decent body man, and we are looking at painting it silver with satin black JDX graphics (ala the new Dodge Daytona), and I've contacted Jeff at Cannon classic sleds for a smoke colored 295/s windshield (he said he is going to add it to his website)...should look pretty cool, and I would like the performance to match.

By the way, the comment regarding "Up North" came from a post you had regarding us "being" up north yet still "going" up north.

Hope you've been well Don.

It's in a 78 Cyclone that we are going to scrap unless you want the whole sled. Never tested the engine, bought the sled at a farm sale back when we were working on son-in-law Sean's 78 Cyclone. Email me at bison1112002@yahoo.com when you need more info.
