How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?
There is no comparison between the 73 340 and the 74 360. The 360 made more power. You have to do a little research. As far as the earlier 340, they made 275 HP. I compared HP ratings between the net rated motors and the earlier non net rated motors in dusters. The question is, when rating net, how much HP is lost. Somewhere in the 20-30 HP area. Now add that to the 360's HP of 245 and it takes you back up to around 275. But the 360 made more torque than the early 340's. Remember they did not have eletronic ignition early on either. You can look at old manuels. Even a Chiltons will show (HP #'s) the numbers. I spent the time researching. I love all the mopar small blocks.
