HOW ABOUT A 1979 318 V-8 IN MY '73 SCAMP?

I interpreted your :poke: wrong, sorry.
No. I am NOT a 318 hater. When the application fits, the 318 is just fine. I have had a 318 with me since the very early 80s, and it is still going strong in it's application.
As for 340s, I have had several stockers, and after my first 360, I was done with 340s. I got a stack of core blocks in the corner, looking for homes, that I will never use.
Rumble; I like you as well as any man can like another on the internet, and it is never my intention to cross you. I don't always agree with you on every topic, but that's to be expected, especially on the web.
I'll try to be a lil more alert to :poke:
