Default RE: 440 or 426?

Okay, I will be different. Of the original engines, I will take the high winding 340 because of it high rpms and it is lighter. In the quarter mile,
the performance is close with these engines but the engine weight gives the road handling advantage to the 340.

Motor Trend tested the '70 'Cuda in 340, 440 Six-Pack and Hemi versions. The acceleration results had the 340 car
getting to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, the 440 car scooting there in 5.9 seconds and the Hemi making it in 5.8 seconds.
The quarter-mile flew by in 14.5 seconds at 95 mph for the 340, 14.4 seconds at 100 mph for the 440 and 14 seconds
flat at 102 mph for the Hemi.
