The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

The part of the Chevys I like is the interchangeability. Also as Tim mentions, they are small and compact. You don't have to spend a thousand damn dollars on headers, or 300 for a decent oil pan. You actually HAVE aftermarket support.......so much so that it really turns my stomach when I compare to what Mopar has.

From 1955 to 1987 the bare block was virtually unchanged except for bore and stroke. That's a LOT of years and a LOT of parts to scour for.


Got damn, really? Go look at the blue prints. The Chevy and MoPar are so close in size and weight it's negligible.

The Chevy headers cost the same as Chrysler headers unless you are buying junk. 300 for an oil pan and it's barely above stock for either brand.

The reason for little aftermarket support is because the cheap dick pussy whining Chrysler guys to this F'ing DAY still think running a stock rocker is a good thing.

Not many guys wanted to use W-2 has because they had to buy headers and an intake. Boo freaking hoo. The Chevy guys learned several DECADES ago how **** a stud mounted rocker is. Yet the magnum leg bumpers can't wait to run rockers a Chevy guy would piss on.

Go figure why no one in the aftermarket will support us. You can buy a F'ing Pontiac block and the poncho guys don't ***** and piss and moan.
