(car enthusiast)That thing got a 340 in it? (me)Its got a 360 (car enthusiast) :sad1:

I try and bite my tounge the best I can when listening to know nothing idiot's.
As far as people asking the question, I tell'em the truth about the cid.
The comment of "But it's a dog motor - Why did you build a dog motor" is easily answered with, cost of a 340, I like the extra torque the extra stroke gives me on the street, I'm not racing, it's only considered a dog motor because of the years it was produced and parts it was given in the roll it played, people mover, not performance or race engine. But that has nothing to do with anything when you totally rebuild it for performance or race since very thing gets altered. The fact that it WAS a dog engine is no longer in play and has zero bearing on what it is now or will be designed for no matter what it started out as.

And I leave it at that. Only the truly stupid argue from there that it was a dog motor. I just smile. You can't fix stupid, close minded stuck in a rut thinking people. They will just develop an excuse as to why your dog motor just mopped the floor with them. And or try to add in that you spent TONS of money to make it better than a 340.

Considering that the 340 is how old now.... Are there really many left in great shape as to just slap on parts and a cam to go racing and survive? Your money, your gamble, see ha at my shop when you break stuff.
