The 340 is just a perfect combination and especially the early ones with the good cams and big valve heads. I have some avid Chevy racers as customers. They love to build "6 rod motors". I laugh and let them know that All Mopar small blocks are 6" rod motors. (in fact ours are 6 1/8" rods, copied by GM for their LS engines) How about forged cranks, shaft rockers, factory dual point distributors and the like. Mopar engineers designed the 340 to be a performer and it was a force to be reckoned with! No converted 2 barrel small blocks here!
