[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3535021, member: 15054"] My 383 was a 1967 which I was told was the last year for the high compression. It ran very strong in a 1967 Newport custom I had. I did drive my Uncles 340 Duster that he raced against Richard Petty in and it would flat get it on in that Duster. 4 speed of course. Another plus is those old Mopars would get 18 MPG with some tuning from the 383 and over 20 from that 340. The later A833 trans would have a .73 OD if you are into that. My uncle got one from OKC pull-a-part for 75 bucks and stuck it behind his 67 Barracuda with a 340. It got a best ever 27 MPG on one leg from OKC to Oregon. Average MPG was 24. He was running a Carter 625 CFB AFB that was rejetted. [/QUOTE]
