If mopar had put a solid lifter cam in the 340.
My neighbors had a 69 z28 302. That thing ran like garbage under about 4-5K. The 340 Dart would eat it up until the Z28 got wound up. Another had a 70LT1 Vette, that car ran better down low, still not close to the Dart for grunt. Always fun to tell them this thing only has 275Hp while they were bragging about 350+. Still beat them in the 1/4.
One of the old school guys that streetraced had a 302 Camaro. Thing was like racing a chainsaw. Launching it at 7500, That thing screramed RPM. Meanwhile some others with mopars and BB's are shifting at 5200-6000 and beating it. The camaro needed every bit of the 5.13's it had to launch. Had 3.73's at one time and an old lady pushing a shopping cart would be a car out at the 60' on him. LOL
Can't remember if Ford put a solid lifter in the 351C. I thought they were all hydraulic like mopars. Maybe the Boss was a solid.
