Yea the 69 Cuda or Dart with a 440-6 but with a 520 lift solid cam and a much better exhaust system. The 67 Cuda and Dart 383 with the large valve 915 heads and the manifold it got the next year plus a 750 Carter instead of the little boy. One of the main reasons the 340 and 383 factored HP are so close is because they use the same small carb. The 426 street wedge uses the same carb, mani style and head as the 361/305 which is why it is now factoed at 300HP. Until the thermoquad came along, all of the single four big blocks were under carbed.
