In need of an education..340 vs 360.

The 340 has the reputation because it came from the factory with a 4 barrel and high compression with dual exhaust where as the 360 was usually a low compression smogger 2 barrel. Put some good pistons in a 360 to bring compression up, decent heads, 4 barrel and the 360 is the stronger runner because of its lighter pistons and longer stroke. The 360 is a stroked 340.
