The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

Well yes dollar for dollar a big block a body with the torque is a whole lot of fun !
I had a bb in a 73 duster with 3:91 sure grip when I was 19.It was a handful !
Tire smoldering machine for sure !
Yet my mildly well built 340 4 speed duster would have ate it up !
But dollar for dollar the bb a body wins every time.
compare apples to apples, mildy well built 340 --------against a mildly well built 440!
