In need of an education..340 vs 360.

here we go again.....not comparing apples to apples.....LOL! Guys....a stock 360 never came with high compression (10.5 to 1) nor did it ever come with heads equal to the 340, as they never installed 2:02 valves in a 360. A stock 360 performance level is never going to be as good as that of a stock 340. As I said before, either can be built in a stroked monster, and perform pretty much the same. Chrysler built the 340 to be their performance small block, as it was only available in performance cars. The 360 was really introduced to be a truck/passenger car engine. There is no more cost in building a 340 than a 360 as there is stroker cranks available for both. And for the record a stock340 WILL rev higher than a 360 because of it's shorter stroke, and smaller dia. mains give it less bearing speed, which makes it less frictional, and easier on the bearings. The reason chrysler put the much more durable forged crank into the 340 was because of it's ability to rev.
