Exactly...The name of this game is dollars per hoss-power. 360 is the leader in that category.
I think it's a mute point...360s are every bit as good as 340s. They just don't have the fame because Dodge never built them as Muscle motors. If they did, I'm confident IT would be the famed smallblock and the 340 would have the status of 318.

I think I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. The 360 can be every bit as good, but not all engines are made the same way or with the same purpose in mind. The 340's were made as a performance motor and they usually have tighter machining tolerances than the run of the mill truck or passenger car blocks.
I think it's just a matter if the owners wants to be able to say that he has a 340.

Now your getting somewhere but consider this....How many people do you know that can tell them apart? Especially if you hand around any ferd or chebby fans. Those little numbers on the front left side of the block near the head are awfull hard to read if you paint the block. Throw a pie tin on the top that says 340 4 Barrel and you got a 340!! I'd be just as proud of a 360 that I built though. Run What You Brung......Nuff Said. :headbang: [/b]
