I use a 65 Battery in my 71 Hemi Cuda, it had the highest CCA rating. I also made one fit in my 74 Duster.

Do you have your broadcast sheet? Group 24 would be standard on the 340 but Group 27 was an option. BS would tell

Consider a Walmart Everstart battery in group 24 or Group 27. They are about $150 plus fee, core charge, tax, etc. gets you to almost $195.
Peel off all of the labels and pop off the two plastic "caps".

Use the Weskcar Deluxe Push-In Caps Kit in Yellow for about $37 with shipping. The results are very good. I run the Group 27 (810 CCA) for my 440 with the Weskcar RED caps and embossed plates. The plates look to be 3D printed.
Comparison of this setup versus a repro battery below.
