Keith Mopar, I'm curious why you decided to go from the 340 to the 360. I've always liked the shorter stroke and faster reving 340 over the 360, but maybe I'm missing something.

THe old 340 aways ran strong but had a vibration in it and was getting worse, so when I pulled it apart, I found 6, 10.5:1 pistons in it, and 2, 9:1 pistons in holes 5 & 6, with a huge gouge in the bore, of no. 5. I took the block to the machine shop and they said that cyl would have to be sleaved, then one of my buddys kids that works a Chrysler dearler ship said someone put a grand deposite on a crate motor, and walked away from it, and any one that worked there could have it for dealer cost, less the $1000 bucks, so I jumped on it, the kid got me the deal, and I slipped him a few bucks
