You see quite a few of the little 340's at the PS drags. Gives you a good idea what a well prepared stock 340 is capable of.
They get paired with big blocks fairly often. Pretty good running little cars, I've always admired them.

Here are just a couple examples.

My first car at 16 was a '69 Swinger 340.
Had a bunch of A bodies since.
I have 2 Darts right now.
A '69 Swinger 340 and a '69 M-code 440 GTS from Mr. Norm's.
Hard to keep the 440 pointed straight!
The 340's also handled pretty good by back in the day standards.

Agree those 340 Dart Swingers were quick. Hope to get one some day.

I had a bunch of pics on my work PC that crashed. I'll dig some up.
I found this so-so one from a magazine article...
