340 4 barrel and 340 6 barrel: were they really UNDERrated?

well my time with a boss 302 was limited , it made great power after changing the cam and a better holley and dizzy , and a smaller flywheel . it flew to 155 mph at @ 8500 rpm . but it's running time was very limited , it was apart more than it was together . but it never loss when it ran , lol . but i'll take a nice headed 340 instead of that boss package . i'd rather finish the race then dnf . so now mine sliding a 340 w/eddy heads n rpm intake and a afb into my 64 cuda 4spd tti headers n exhaust system with a few body stiffening mods . it won't handle like my boss , but i'll still drive it's wheels off it , lol . found me a pair of vintage american t70 torq thrusts for the nose , steels and the rear like these .

It would take very little to make that little A-body outhandle the Boss Mustang. The starting platform is that much better...bigger torsion bars, better rear springs, better shocks, and sway bars...
