340 to 372 c.i.

Always wondered why you would 3.58 stroke a desireable 340, when a 40 over 360 is what what you are going to end up with? I have a 360 crank turned down to 340 mains and might use it in a crazy 273 build. Figured the 273 low compression piston would be about +.150 out of the hole....but both motors love to rev..., seems a larger stroker 4.00 crank would be going the opposite direction. 3.58 is still somewhat rev-able. Balancing this 273 would exceed the value of the block though, but using light 273 rods would help.
