Gettin in the game late but in 1982 we sold the 34's with both the 350ci270s and 454ci350s Crusaders - both came with 1.91 trans 270s used 3 blade cup 18 x 19 new unloaded got 18 cruise 3100 / 22gph and 28 top 4000 / 42gph -- 350s used 3 blade cup 19 x 19 new unloaded got 21 cruise 3100 / 30 gph and 31 top 4000 / 54 gph Hopes this helps customers were 2/3 towards 454s but fuel was cheaper back then
