Legend of the 340

In August of 1970, I bought a new, from the local dealer, 70 Duster 340, 4-speed, 3.55 Suregrip, B-5 blue with B5 blue bench seat interior. That car was a freak. Factory showroom stock it ran 13.90's on the white stripe polyglass E-70 tires. I used to blow away big block Chevelles and Camaros all the time.
One time, about two in the morning on the highway I was running about 90, when a SS396 Chevelle blew past me doing about 120. My friend, that was with me, asked if I was going to let that Chevelle do that. So I stabbed the pedal. When we blew past the SS396, I looked at the Ralley speedo. The needle was bouncing past the 150 mark.
A little over a year after I got the car, I tore it apart and installed a 440, big input 4-speed, Dana 60. After removing the 340 we dis-assembled it and found that it was a AAR 340 with a 4 barrel intake and carb installed.
