so you are saying they are a good truck motor when you need some real weight in the front to balance a load out.

Maybe. They're a good daily driver engine. Durable and highly efficient, second only to the Hemi of that era. 93 percent hp/cube ratio.

The 340 was 80 percent
The 440 was 85

Going strictly by the factory numbers of course
