Let’s hear a 340 story

I told this one in a post awhile ago but I stopped in a local transmission shop around 7 miles from my house to bs and the owner asked if I needed another Mopar. Of course I had to ask what he had. It’s that green duster outside, go check it out, it has a blowed up motor. I see the duals and open the hood of a 1973 (340) duster with disks brakes, floor shift automatic, and a lay down rear seat. Ok how much. Pretty sure he said 450.00 or it might have been 400.00 as this was back in the early 1980’s. I told him I’ll be back in 45 minutes with a trailer and cash. Paid him and he helped me load it and 15 minutes after I got it unloaded at home it was fixed. A pushrod went up through a rocker on the driver side and I just happened to have spare parts. it wasn’t very fast but it was a fun car. To many projects to make it any faster so it was just a fun toy.
