I had read that the hot lick back in the day was to put a 440 carb on a 340. I stuck a 69 440 carb on the Duster and took it for a spin. I didn't run it at the track but it seemed to do nothing. I put the correct carb right back on. I may have to revisit that test at the track. I remember I had to stack a couple of thick gaskets up so the throttle blades would clear the intake.

I know in Stock Eliminator the 71 car is clearly better than the 70. In stock form I'm just not sure. Doesn't seem to me a stock engine can use the TQ to its fullest potential. I keep thinking my car is second fiddle to a 71 but I'm just not really sure it is.
