340 vs 440

The thing is both the 340 or the 440 will run good in the A-body. We have a 400 in my sons Dart but I had the 400 shortblock so we used what we had. But if I built it from scratch I would go with a stroker of either the smallblock or bigblock. The smallblock stroker makes a very potent combo in the A-body. They are more cubes then the 400 my son runs and are a lighter eng with a longer stroke. To be honest the stock stroke 400 is not the best combo to build but we had it and it runs fine for what it is. So what I am saying is there is nothing wrong with the 340 in the A-body and they will run strong. I went with the 440 in my 63 as with the heavier B-body I like the longer stoke of the 440 for more torque. But if I had the cash I would have stroked it. Ron
