article from 2017... How Bad Did Mopar’s 340 beat Ford & Chevy?

I had a 72 Demon 340, three speed, which meant it came with a rev limiter in the control box. it was pure stock, all the way down to the tires. Ran 14.80's at the drag strip. A friend had a 71 Duster 340, 4 speed, with a curve kit in the distributor and a set of Hooker headers. Other than that, it was a stock 340. I watched this guy beat a lot of brand X cars. He was a great driver and so smooth on the shift. After he built the engine, with a Crane cam, and six pack set up, it was scary fast. I would love to build my Demon to run like the Duster did.
