I've got an early car, but the original engine was gone around 1980, so I have no idea what the casting date was on the 340 that was put in my 8/28/67 SPD GTS convertible, but it may have been earlier..........

Yeah...but they made E-bodies for 5 years (70-74)..but only made 340's during 4 of those years.

Any car made after 1969 and before the turbo Mopars is part of the dark ages anyway.......
