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

Depends on who builds it. The old man wanted to build a 340 for his Duster ages ago. Couldn't find one and couldn't afford the ones he did find.

In comes the 360. Cheap, easy to find. That car became a legend in the area. Once word got around it had a 360 in it, all of sudden, those same folks who were saying the 340 was all the rage were coming to Pop for advice on how to build a 360.

When you get right down to it, though, it's like a buddy of mine, seriously into Mopars, who claims the 360 is "junk." It's not junk, it just came out in the "junk" era of smogged cars.

Funny how everyone rags on the 360 for not being the 340 then thinks the Lil Red is one of the most awesome vehicles ever built and then goes on to make the claim of how fast it was compared to the competition. Kind of contradictory, don't ya think?
I'm not talking about built I'm talking about stock .
The question was why people ask is it a 340 .
340's were mopars best stock factory small block .
I have both motors .
My 360 has about 100 more hp then my 340 they are not stock .

My comment was for sales of why people are impressed by 340's !
A 340 is a 340 with a lot of history and a reputation as a high winding stock muscle car motor that embarrassed plenty of big blocks in its day in stock form !!!!
