360-383 A-debate...max builds need not apply.

Did you mean 383 is standard engine in challenger r/t ?
I thought so, yes, but have since looked and was wrong.

It was the ‘71 and ‘72 Road Runner that I was thinking of, not the Challenger/Barracuda. 383 was the base motor and the 340 was an extra cost option.
At least in 1970, the standard engine in a challenger r/t was a 383, the 340 was an extra cost option, but then if you bought the 340, it was not an r/t. Challenger aficianado's know it as an A66. I have a friend who has had her A66 for at least thirty years. We havent seen a real A66, other than hers, at the spring or fall flings in a decade.
