According to the Road Test magazine "R/T Test Report" from April 1971 for a '71 340 Dodge Demon, yes, it is faster. Best they did was 14.56 @96mph
And I don't care what any of the haters say, that's some really nice work there. Doing a swap with a kit is hard enough for most people, making everything yourself to make it work is a level of skill they'll never have. Maybe a 3.6L isn't the "sexiest" engine swap out there, but that's a solid modern engine. I'd rather see 100 of those than 1 bone stock factory car that spends 99.99% of its time parked.
