The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

Maybe he was confusing it with the Buick 340 engine! Had a high school friend that had one in a Buick Wildcat, probably about a 67 model. Recall beating up on him a lot with my 318.
Be careful about knocking on Buick, after all they made one of the fastest muscle you could buy in 1970, some say the fastest. As for the 340 who cares what people think I've had people roll there eyes at me when I tell them im building a 64 cuda, and I could give a F$%k less what they think. ROCK ON 340
