390 vs 408 - the real difference?

360s are available in Australia, but they were a fairly limited run, so decent blocks are hard to come by.

Figure on between $400 and $1100 for a 60 block at current prices down here. And thats for a block - not a long engine.

As for 340s...well they're as rare as Rocking Horse "skidoo"..........total local production run was around 300 340 cars.

Good point, I recall seeing a purple 360-powered Valiant Charger running 10s with a healthy 360 BEFORE he went twin turbo. Nice car.
