340/S Count

Post by WinnipegStPaul9 »

I would like to know how many 340/S are still out there. If you would be so kind please post here under one of two categories: "Complete" or "Parts Sled". This forum really would be a way for us to determine how many parts (i.e. pistons) are actually needed.

As for me I have one complete sled.

I have one close to complete started out with not much more than a bare chassis. I have two motors one is complete and just needs to be checked over and seals replaced. My other Motor is almost complete but has a piston with a messed up ring index pin. I am sure others have a spare motor or two.
Old sleds are hours of entertainment.... then you get to ride them for a little bit.
