In need of an education..340 vs 360.

Like I said it was all brand new. I didn't have an engine lying around to use. Not sure you can build a brand new 340 for the same price. My 340 MP block was $2600 bare.
I was including the carb, ignition, roller rockers, Aerohead 340 heads, MP 380/360 roller shortblock, oil pan, oil pump, bolts,etc. All new, no rebuild.
