Stop in for a cup of coffee

I don't really have much of an opinion for 340s

Years ago when I had my first 74 duster, we put a 360 in it and it consistently beat my dad's 340 69 cuda. Only thing I can think is the cuda is an original and by then it had a ton of miles because my dad bought off a used car lot in 1972 and used it as a family car until 2004 when it got retired and replaced by a new Mercedes Benz

The 360 in the duster was a lot fresher but I think the 340 should have ran closer instead of being absolutely dusted
I had a 73 Challenger with a 340. With just a set of headers, it ran surprisingly well. Buddy put a warm 360 in his shortbed dodge truck. Truck could get a fender on me off the line, but once the 340 wound up it walked on by. Both rides had 3.23 gears. Was fun racing.
