R/T,
I think there is some info posted on the results of (3) 340 Dusters, as tested, all stock, with 4-speed transmissions, and E-70" x 14" GoodYears Disc brakes and power steering.
w/3.23 gears; 14.37
w/3.55 gears; 14.24
w/3.91 gears; 14.09
That sounds about right.

On the 1967 Barracuda 383/280HP car It was available with a 4-speed and/or automatic.
Weight #3202 lbs.
Big problem, super restrictive exhaust. The only gear ratio available was the 3.23.
Car lumbered a little. The 4-speed stick car could run around 15.20's @ 94 mph.
PC.

Wrong thread.
But here it is.
340/275HP hydraulic camshaft .430/.444 lift w/ 268/276 duration

The 1968 340/275HP 4-speed camshaft;
.444/.453 lift w/276/284 duration

1970 340/290HP 6-barrel camshaft
.430/.444 lift w/268/276 duration
T/A heads with off-set push rod holes, and off-set adjustable rockers.

If they went through with the 340/305HP 6-barrel Ram-Air for 1971, it would have had a .484/.484 lift w/284 duration. solid lifter camshaft.

Did any of the '71 'Cuda's actually sell for over a million? There was a pretty big story on one of the Mopar boards a couple years ago about that being nothing more than collusion between the '71 owners trying to keep the prices inflated.

That is what was happening. How much was really traded is privy to those involved. That kind of stuff has also allegedly occurred at the big auction houses. To me, that's manipulation of trade and should be investigated by the DOJ or Atty General at the least.
