i think there is only 1 reason anymore to put a 340 in a car. your restoring a original muscle car that came with one. 340 is a great factory piece with all the great numbers to produce high factory power with tons of flexibility. 360 is the bigger brother of 340 with all the smog. heads up numbers with 340 360 wins. every body new in the hobby look at the number that were published buy the factory see those big numbers and say i want one of those. 340s hall *** and then ad mods and look out. then they tell there friend, 360 is the same beast only 20 cid bigger. (theirs no replacement for displacement) if you find your dream engine and it needs a rebuild it cost the same. putting 202 valves in 360 heads is a easy mod for a good shop to do and if it needs a rebuild the cost for valves that your to replace anyway is the same. one more thing 340 for sale arm and a leg. 360 for sale thank here a few bucks. there still every were.
