Boss 302 stocker

Unless I am badly mistaken, the 340 T/A and AAR drag cars never had the right power-to-weight factor to run C/SA. They usually ran E/SA or F/SA.
The REAL TransAm E-body Mopars had a de-stroked 340 with 304 cubic inches, but the dealerships never got their hands on any of those to sell.

There was a pink 340 NHRA Stocker from Apple Valley CA, driven by a girl, who ran competitively in Division seven for several years, and I think it ran E/SA. As an aside, the guy who tuned it told me one day, that it ran marginally quicker and faster with single 750 Thermoquad carb than it did with the three twos.

What you may have seen in C/SA was a '70 Barracuda or Dodge Challenger with a 440 6-pack engine; I believe they ran C/SA, or B/SA, depending on their ballast situation.

Hope this helps...
