Question about the price of 340s

Not the one I drove. Not at all impressed. Chevrolet guys were crying like mice eating onions. Chrysler 340's and Ford 351 Cleaveland 4 barrel motors would easily clean their clocks if any way set up close. Weight, gears, transmission. Not counting Chevrolet was good for about a year of heavy "use". After that they were way down on power if still running. NHRA factored power was about the same for the LT-1 and a 340.

Then you didn't drive the right one.
