article from 2017... How Bad Did Mopar’s 340 beat Ford & Chevy?

Well, it wouldn't have beat the 1970 LT1 350 in a Nova, Camaro or Corvette. 370HP and 380LB FT available with a 4 speed and up to 4.56 gears. As long as both drivers were about equal in ability, that LT1 was a tough customer. 11:1 compression and a solid cam. Disagree all yall want, the 340 was just not a match for that.
I read that the corvette ran 14.30's @101 and a 70 340 would do 14.70's @94 not bad for a much heavier car.
