I do not have a build sheet for my cuda, only have the fender tag. Its a 73 cuda with a 340(E55) and a 3 speed manual transmission(D13). I was able to track down one of the first owners and he told me that the car was ordered that way for drag racing. Apparently the 340 was replaced early on with a 70 340 motor which was too much power for the 3 speed. I was told the flywheel kept coming apart and thus a 727 was bulit for it and put in. Thats how she sits today. I am sorta curious though, as I have never seen a 3 speed behind a 340, are these rare. I am thinking about putting a 4 speed stick in the car but maybe I should go the 3 speed route? Just an idea. Any of you mopar gurus have any thoughts on this. Without the build sheet is there anyway I can find out more info about the car?
