The general consensus, is that the LD-340 was the best overall Intake Manifold
for the 340 on the Street/Strip.

It was a beautiful piece of casting.

I ran a Tarantula on my 1968 Barracuda 340 4-Speed {Classed in Super Stock} 'SS/I' back in 1972 thru 1975.

Once I hit 5500 RPM's, you could feel the 340 take off. It was like another level.
