490029" tire with 3.91's, try a shorter tire. What is your rpm at the finish line?

I know, but Mopar guys are a rarity down in Texas.
They are around here, too. Most of them are buttholes.......cept for the few FABO members I've met. All of them are cool. I've had Chevy guys drool over my 75 F250......and of course the Ford guys love it. But the Mopar guys turn their noses up. I love all the older American stuff.
well, it was one of the fastest offered from Mopar....This thread sure took a turn! After reading everyone's responses it would appear the 340 is one of the fastest small blocks ever offered. Yet, most people talk like it is just a motor for the resto-guys.

The 340 is the most powerful small block motor produced by Chrysler in stock form up until the Magnum motors came out in 92. I don't know the horsepower at the crank of the Magnum 5.9. 340 id definitely most powerful carbureted small block from Chrysler in stock form. In stock form 340s were always performance motors. 360s were rarely performance motors.This thread sure took a turn!

Looking for members who have obtained 12's from their stock stroke naturally aspirated 340's. I have a standard bore '72 340 that got me in the 13's at 104 mph with a flat cam. I have since upgraded to a solid roller .600 lift Comp Cams and cometic head gaskets. The pro comp heads chamber didn't like the .027 piston out of the deck hitting them. Lesson learned. I am running 3:91 gears on a 29" tire with a 18-spline a body 4-speed. Can it be done? I sure hope so.
I can think of only one naturally aspirated 340 4 speed car on this forum that doesn't do 12 seconds - yellow rose! LOL
Damn...snuck one in on me when i wasnt looking.
I need to pay attention. You butt tards are going after me when im trying to be good.
Well we all get lucky sometimes! I don't think I've seen you on the forum in a little while?
