This really is not meant to be too much, but one of the more fun cars I had was a bone stock '73 GTX. Looked a bit rough, but was absolutely a virgin.

Put a battery in, repaired the radiator, a quick tune and I was VERY impressed.

Your 340 car could eat up lots of coin making it close to a 440 compatible car.

Save the aggrivation, stuff a 440 in it, save the 340 and save lots of $$, too!
