How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?
Dan the early 340's made better power. They were not quite as good in 73. Smaller valves less cam. The 360 had larger displacement (longer stroke) and more HP and torque. Better low rpm pull. Remember HP was a "net" rating in 74, and I calculated the numbers. The 360 was on par with the early 340's and made more torque. It's interesting that early dusters get more attention because people think they made more power. They don't. It's they way the engines are rated. Plus you get the other goodies in 74.
