WOW RoswellGrey thats wrong. With an attitude like that, hotrodding as we know it is dead. I'm going to chaulk it up to a bad day Its a given that the current conditions make it hard no doubt, but with some perseverance and hard work it would be a nice motor to put in a Barracuda. And with Pops help it would be time well spent as Father and Son could spend quality time together. I wish I had a spare 340 to give you tdub, I really do. You might scour the salvage yards in your area or maybe a Mopar guy with a big heart will help a young guy out. As far as gas goes if you a'rnt makeing a car payment, it leaves alot of green to put in the tank
