70 dodge dart vs. 70 nova

I had a 69 Swinger 340, liked the looks of that year, but was not a fan of the 70 Swinger. I also had both a 69 and 70 Nova and liked them both. One thing the film has right is that a bone stock 340 Swinger would blow the doors off a bone stock SS350 Nova.

For some reason - the 340 A-Bodies really worked - even against some big block cars.

Agree those 68-69 340 Swinger 4 speeds were some real quick muscle cars. 340 had 2.02 heads, cast iron high rise intake, forged crank, rods, high lift cam, windage tray. These engines were fast and could put the Big Block 383 Darts on the trailer. Again back in the day i could of had a chance to buy one from my former neighbor. Kick myself on that one too. Didnt care for the 70 Dart style.
