In need of an education..340 vs 360.

How much will it cost to get the 360 to the HP of the stock 340 $1,000.Better heads,cam,intake and carb and headers?You can rob the 340 for all these parts but why do that when you have the 340 complete sitting there.The stock 340 pistons are heavier but they are stronger than the 360's and you are going to be doing road coarses right.I say freshen up the 340 for around $200-$300 and sale the 360 to one if these guys.Also the 340 should run on pump gas in stock form.To add I just bought kb pistons .04 over and 650HP I beam scat rods for my 340 and they weigh 1/2 pound lighter than my stock bore stock 318 pistons so if piston weight is an issue there is a solution.And my piston and wrist pin weighed 716 grams.I have nothing against the 360 but if you have to spend money just to get to a stock 340's HP its a no brainer.I'm more of a cicle track guy than this strieght line stuff so I look at what an engine will do on the road and the higher rpm is more desireable when a guy comes along side you at 50 mph.Just my view.
