Legend of the 340

My dad's buddy special ordered a Duster 340 in 1970. It was B5 with the blue bench seat interior and auto on the column. At that time, the 340 Duster was a sleeper. That stock 340 car wasted many 396's and even some big block Ford's. After a short time, nobody would run that car. At the same time, another guy agreed to special order a Nova with a 350. It did not take long for him to back out on wanting to race the Duster.

The 340 is a legend but with today's technology, an equally prepped 318 or 360 can run every bit as good or better.
