Justin (crazyguy) misread and thought someone was arguing for a 348 over a 390, he didn't mean the motor istelf was BS.
I don't really care for 360's either, but would run one before a 340, but then again, I like smaller bore engines, and thats why.
Good luck, and don't siscount the 390 option yet, it may be near the same price as the 348 option, after you check into it. (then just tell em it's a 318) BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAA
