So what is the real horsepower and torque ratings for the Chrysler 340 Magnum and 340 Six Pak? In a recent engine build two 340s were built exactly as Chrysler spec'd them out. Then each was put on a dyno. The results . . . 320 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 368 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm versus the advertised 275 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 340 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm and 352.1 horsepower and 395.9 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm versus the advertised ratings of 290 HP @ 5,000 and 345 lb-ft @ 3,400 for the 340 Six Pak.

The incorrect placement of the engine callout emblem on this Nova SS reminds me of a joke . . .

Poor Casper Milktoast . . . he has absolutely no luck with girls. So he decides to try to remedy this by seeking out his high school's most successful "Don Juan" . . . Joe Kool.

"Joe . . . I have no luck with girls and you do. Can you PLEASE give me some advice to help me!"

"Well Casper . . . if you can't make it . . . you have to fake it!"

"And how will I do that Joe?"

"Just take a pair of socks, roll em up and stick that in your pants."

So the next day Casper has a little more confidence walking through the halls of his school smiling at girls but unfortunately he still has no luck. So once again he seeks out Joe Kool . . .

"Joe . . . I did what you told me to do and the situation got worse! All the girls were laughing at me!"

"Show me what you did Casper . . ."

"Jesus Casper! You're supposed to put the roll of socks in the front of your pants not the back!"
