340 actual horsepower

IndianaDodge said

I was reading a article once in a Mopar Mag about the 340, they started stock and begin adding bolt on performance parts. toping out some where close to 400!

Does anyone recall this MAG article?

YES, and the heads were not even ported. Just basic bolt-ons. Updated 4bbl, dual plane intake manifold, mild street perf. camshaft/lifter kit and exhaust headers. Nothing fancy, stock compression if my memory serves me correctly. They peaked at 396 HP.

Not related to this post: but to clarify NO 360 motor ever put out more HP than any 340 motor. ALL 340 MoPar smallblocks were HP, and the 360 was always a low compression engine. Someone stated something about the 360 making more power (hahaha) believe me, that NEVER happened from Chrysler.
