Let’s hear a 340 story

Here's one, the year was about 1980 I had had my 340 swinger for a couple of years down at the local NAPA store sat a 1970 340 duster with a pro stock hood scoop it was owned by the store manager he was a couple years older than me and had been doing the high performance thing for a while. We became friends/acquaintances he always kept his cards pretty close as he was involved in the street racing at the time over the next couple of years the car began to be on the short list of fastest cars in the area in a town of 200,000, and for about a year he was top dog, his setup went something like this 340 TA block ,W2heads , tunnel ram,660 Holleys , solid roller cam 456 gear, 4speed , TRW 12.1 pistons full cage .
