Re: off topic 340 engine

[Jason Chance <j23@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm no small block expert for sure, but the basic 340, casting 2780930, 
was made from 68-73. The T/A 340, casting 3577130, was a one year only 
for 1970.

The basic 340 came with a 4 Bbl intake and was rated at 230-275 Hp. The 
T/A 340 came with the six-pack intake and was rated at 290 Hp.
