66 would have been a 273, and 17's would be a fair guess. And my 318 I currently have in my '74 duster would beat your '73 340. That's not a knock on your 340. I did put 498 bucks into the 318 2bbl. I have since pulled the 4bbl off and added 2 4bbls.. lol. Now it's a 750 dollar 318.... Most have seen it, but in case you haven't...
