The 'Quickest' A-Body Small Blocks

Let's not be too literal.

This is based on General Track Performance

Car Weight, as well as Weight Transfer.

For instance,

The 1971 Duster 340 is {-32 lbs.} lighter than the 1971 Demon 340.

Also, the 4-Speed Transmission A-Body cars are {+46 lbs.} heavier than the Automatic Transmission A-Body cars.

With the converters the stock cars use from the factory, the 4 speed has a huge advantage. 46 pounds more is nothing when you can launch the car at whatever rpm you want to
