Where can one find scripture and verse on specifications, fitment, interchangibilty and cannibalization of 273/318/340 heads, blocks and exhaust manifolds/ headers???
Ex: X vs J?
273 vs 318 vs 340 exhaust ports/ header fitment?
valve/cam differences?
optimum cams/heads/exhaust vice 273/318/340?
Is there a matrix chart or computer program in captivity somewhere?
I had a new, STOCK, 1970, 340, 4spd Duster in Germany and it would fly up and down the autobahn. It would go from 0-130 mph in no time and would purr like a kitten at idle. Perfect setup although a Thermoquad and 1 or 2 more gears would have been cool! Mopar had that engine right. I put headers on it when I got it home but did not make much difference. I do not know the specs on that engine but I would love to build one just like it or a 275+HP 273 to put in my 67 Formula S. I just need that scripture and verse.
1972 was the beginning of the end of the powerful stock small block Mopars.
