Let’s hear a 340 story
Back in the mid 90s i bought this 1966 VC Valiant, it had a 340 engine fitted but wasnt running as it was an early a body and needed work on the oil lines and exhaust given the narrow engine bay. In Australia the biggest engine option in this model was a 273. When i got it running i fitted a solid flat tappet, 273 rockers, 650 holley etc, it was a factory steel crank 2.02 valve engine which wasnt common here in Australia. It kept on destroying std 904 torqueflites so i fitted a 4spd manual and daily drove it for many years. It had venetians fitted in the rear window and 5.5" steel rims with hubcaps, itwas the most fun of any car i ever owned and terrorised many cars on the street, regretted selling it and bought it back a few years ago minus motor and box.
