Duster 340 not a muscle car...

in 1968 my friend bought a new 340 barracuda 4 sp. was the first year for the 340, and the AVS carb. in that body that year the 340 was faster than the hi po 383. and it was so fast that NHRA re factored the 340 horse power at least 2 times cause it beat the the other brands so bad. chrysler made the 340 as a high performance engine. and was that throu its life. the proof is that it ALLWAY had a 4 bbl carb and NEVER a 2 bbl carb. note ALL other engines under 400 ci came as a low hp engine AND hi hp engine. the 340 was ONLY a hi hp engine. but do note the 440 was ALLWAYS a 4 bbl as low hp or hi hp in some models.
