1971 340's True HP?

Exactly how Mopar wanted it. Had everything on the 340 been available on the 318, it would have been too close a match. The 340 had to stay on top of the small blocks.

Mopar 'toyed' with idea of developing an 'LA' 318 4-Barrel 'Commando' in 1968 for the Plymouth Valiant {only}.

Kind of an Economy-Stocker that was thought out in November 1967.

It was short-lived though.

The 318/240 HP 4-Barrel was relegated to 'Marine Duty', but did find it's way into
a few Municipal Vehicles on special order only.
