Head Gasket Gone. Gonna Replace The Motor, But What Kind?

Yep, the a340 automatic has the same bellhousing and wiring for both the GE and GTE.

Edit to add...

There is some info out there which indicates that a340's built to go into GTE's have more and/or different clutch packs than the ones which went into N/A's. I presume to handle the higher torque levels. The shift points are a little different, and your speedometer might be off somewhat. But it'll bolt up to either 7m engine.
