which is faster-my friends 71 340 4 speed cuda has a balanced engine with cam headers intake and carb-with 3.55 rear end gears-or my other friends 67 GTX 440 automatic with 3000 stahl cam headers intake and carb with 3.23 gears-who would you bet on-i have seen them street race but who would win a 1/4 mile speed contest daren

If the guy can shift a 4 speed I'd put my money on him, also if they are running slicks. If on street tires I might go with the GTX because of the gear

Way too many variables to say, but if all things were equal my money would be on the GTX. The 'Cuda's gearing and weight advantage are too small to make up for the difference in power...in theory anyway. Dave

tough question-back in the day i raced my 71 340-4 speed Challenger against a 67 4 speed 440 GTX-it was prtty much a toss up-winner depended on who drove the best race-at that time my 340 was running 3.23 gears and the GTX was running 4.10 gears-i wonder what would have happened if i had 3.91's in the 340 challenger---previously the GTX had 4.56's---with the 4.56 gears it wasnt even a close race-the 340 car won every time-the GTX just didnt have enough top end to beat the 340
