I hear ya brother. The new stuff is certainly very nice to have but it's very expensive and doesn't last as long. Sometimes we gotta make due with what we have or can afford. For me, I just love the old school looks but like some of the modern technology for sure. In fact, I was all about technology throughout the 2000's but then I stared realizing how unreliable it is compared to the old stuff and how much money it costs just to maintain the new stuff (sensors, plugs, wires, etc). Before my accident I was I need of a shop truck because my business was really taking off and I was going to buy a wrecked Ram from the insurance company and fix it and drive it but then lying in bed one night I started thinking about my dad's 1979 F-250 Super Cab 2wd with a 460 and when he bought it new and how I never ever recall seeing it come home on a tow truck once or it ever seeing it sitting at the dealership for warranty work and he drove that truck to and from work daily for 20 years. He used it on the farm, hauled wood, dirt, we drove it to Mexico once, California twice, Oregon and Washington a bunch of times, we drove it to Alberta twice, and all over British Columbia a bunch of times. That's when I pulled the plug on my idea of getting a new Ram and found and bought my truck instead and now my truck has only let me down once in the 12 years of owning it and it's a real pleasure to drive with no white knuckles! Lol.
Yes it does 😣

Yep, the '68 - '70 340 made an advertised 275 hp and 340 ft lbs torque but was actually around 320 hp and 368 ft lbs of torque. That's more than a smogger 440.
