muscle car question, dodge dart?
February 22nd, 2010 | by admin |
alright should i drop a 360 or a 340 in it? 360 obviously because of the power. but 340 because of gas mileage and i could still fit my A/C unit in it. i live in florida so air conditioning is definately a plus but im stuck deciding. any advice or options would be great. thanks.
Personally… I would go with the 340…
The 340 was the Dart "hot-rod". The 360 (to my knowledge) was never offered as a factory engine. I like to see things left as they were originally built, or at least as close to that as possible.
Just a personal opinion. I love the old Darts… Had a buddy with a 69 Swinger with a 340… it was real quick…
Good luck and I’m sure you will enjoy the car regardless of your choice of engines…

I have an old duster. If it was me I get a 340. Ive heard they gave more horsepower while the 360 had more torque. And there are so many parts out there for both engines.

340 the extra power would be nice but in the summer when its the right time to be driving nice cars your going to wishing for ac and maybe not even drive it as much if it didn’t since you are in florida

Oh man, one of my 1st cars ever was a 1970 dart, and I think I was 18 when I got it. What a fun car that was. Thank you for taking me back 21 years.
