Swap 340 for magnum 360

I would not swap, 340 has lots of potential for up grades and are very desired in 340 cars with 400 hp on tap with good bolt on parts

This is the exact reason he should swap, 340's are rare and expensive. Magnums are cheap reliable and run foooooorrrrevverrrr. 200k miles and no bore wear? Sign me up. Go for it, but get the cam reground to something to your liking. Heads are known to crack and leak water between the valves. You could get a set of engine quest heads on the cheap if this is so.
