For sure Rich. In 1968 a guy near here bought a 340 Duster. No one knew about them cause they were so new. He could put a good running SS396 360HP to shame! I understand that all 340 engines are high performance. ...............................MO

Pop hot rod mag ran a comparo of the 350ish engines for about 4-5 years in that era.  It was the 351 Ford, 350 Chev, 350 Pont, 350 Olds and the 340.  The 340 came out waaay on top every year.  It was hugely underrated. I still have those mag's too.

You brought a grin to my face Jim. I never got beat by a 383 Roadrunner. I’ve read some tests that said the 340 was actually putting out about 340 HP. You know how Mopar (and others for that matter) were lying about the HP ratings back then because of insurance.

I too said similar things about the "340's" back then when they kicked my 335hp 383 just about every time I had to run one of those lil "under-estimated HP suckers"  lol  275HP my a$$     lol
