The 340 Darts from what i read and was told could beat the 383 Darts all day long at the track. Those 340 engines had a good parts, good 2.02 X heads, high rise cast iron intake, forged crank, rods and pistons and free flowing cast iron exhaust manifolds, a hydraulic camshaft, windage tray etc. Well built engines.

Exactly, just like the 69 Camaro Z-28 302 engines, 290 horsepower. 340 Dart i think actually produced 340 horsepower. All for insurance reasons.
