My 73 Dart Sport, 340 3speed on the floor has them.
I would have thought they'd have been unavailable by 73...with all the low-po engines..
360s continued on for three more years, as I'm sure you know. No, the lower compression motors were not as exciting as 1968 340 but just how much difference do you think there was in terms of stress on the unibody?
Ok, fine. No doubt, the earlier engines were more potent. We don't need to argue over what constitutes a "huge decrease" in torque but IIRC, they're within 20 ft-lbs (~6%)of each other.A substantial difference I'd think ...we're talking stock of course...
Huge decrease in engine hp/tq from 68 to 73.
No big blocks available. There's most of the losses...plus emissions, safety standard changes, etc.
You couldn't even get an 8.75 rear after 72.
Love the 70s 360, but not in stock trim. Beyond not exciting to me.
Got a couple 360s in mopars and another will see duty in an old ford so it's not a bias.
