How can that be stupid? I always thought the 340 was king of all Chrysler small blocks. Everybody knows that from the factory the 340 could walk all over the 360 anyday so why would it be stupid to want a better motor?
you are stuck in a time warp?...it is not 1971 nor 1974....yes from the factory the 340 was faster...but today in 2013 are you going to build a 360 to 1974 standards with 8.5 compression,,..and smog laden carb..intake..timing?
Build the same..compression...head..intake ...carb....the 360 is going to be faster...
