Have question

The 904 is a 3-speed automatic and a good one. The '74 car and the '73 are cosmetically VERY similar.... easy year-to-year changeover. Most folks can't tell 'em apart; I'm not sure I could.

The '73 340 is a fairly soft-factored engine; lots of guys run them, if you don't want the 360. I think it's virtually identical to the 1972 340 that powers David Buckner's '72 Duster which won class at Indy last year, was runner-up in Stock Eliminaror at that race, and just 2 weeks ago was the #1 qualifier at the Dallas (Ennis) Div. IV points race.

You could do a lot worse....
