The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

That's what some dumbass schooled me on at the last car show I went to. :D

He says they were the most gutless unreliable POS ever made.

I didn't contest his opinion, because what would be the point?
makes me wonder what he is driving. i might be more in tune with chevy engines but i am learning all about my new toy a 69 cuda what will have a n.o.m. 440 with a 727 auto in it but i know lots of people that love the 340 and the t/a 340 engine . i know it can and will kick a stock 350 chevy to the side when it wants. don't listen to people that are this negative or upset his blew up from abuse etc. stock or built , have fun with what ever it is installed in and enjoy the thumbs up and waves.
