1969 Match Race ~ 'Cuda 383 vs. 'Cuda 340

In NHRA "Stock" trim, the 1969 340 275 HP is rated at 299 HP. The 383 330 HP is rated at 295 HP. With everything else equal, the 340 will out perform the 383. I am not saying the 383 is a boat anchor, it is not. There are several that will run in the 10's. But, the 340 will be a little faster. The 340 is usually in a different class then the 383. The 340 was vastly underated by ma MOPAR. It did take long for NHRA to figure that out.
