Chrysler put alot of time and effort into this car in December 1967,
while preparing it for the January 1968 NHRA event.
The Dodge Performance Heads even labeled it their 'Pride and Joy',
after it had won '3' straight Stock Eliminator Events in a row in
early January, prior to the 68' Winternationals.

Chrysler supplied all the parts, Keith Black did the engine, and Cyclone Headers were even on the sponsorship too.

Ran 12.80's @ 108 MPH.
That was flying for 1968. Who was the Winternationals winner in E/S?
They must have been doing some rocket science since I never saw a 340 have any kind of cooling problems.

Just curious about its competition back then. Weren't the 396 Chevelles and GTOs in E in 1968?
