The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

what was the deal with that? why were they less reliable than a regular wedge V-8 car?
The guy I know that had one in the 70's had to rebuild it 3 times... kept spinning either crank or rod bearings. Sold it after the third time. Now he kicks himself daily over that. With reportedly no warranty on them it seems Chryco was savvy to that fact. Its almost like they were just giving you a collection of really good parts that you could make something really cool out of.
