Vic said, Dodge built a proto-type 68' Dodge Dart GTS with a
340, rated at 335HP, for SS/F in 1968.
It was based upon a 68' GTS (#3264 lbs.) with a fiberglass-hood and deck-lid, to come in at #3200 lbs. even. (9.55 wt/hp break)
Not sure on all the details, but Vic said, Super/Stock springs, 4.88 gears, and supposed (28) 4-speeds and (33) automatics, were in-line for
production in California.
Vic said, he'd dig up engine details. It included an Edelbrock aluminum
DP intake and Holley 780 cfm carburetor.
