that 340 technology is over 50 years old.. the gen 3 stuff is new. Of course there are refinements ….
you should spend your time( if you continue to make such comparisons) about how a 340 can run circles around a Dusenberg…. The technology advancements are comparable.
I could buy a bad *** Gen 3 if I wanted to, and stuff it in something cool. But I have zero interest in doing so, no matter how well it might run.
your confusing old school passion with perceived ignorance of new technology. Most are well aware of the new stuff and it’s ability. Doesn’t mean you prefer it in on your hobby car‘s engine bay though
