I was "318", when 318 wasn't cool......

Clearly you know very little about a 318 if you think they are unique vs the other la engines. They share pretty much everything except bore size with the 340!

nah, i get all that
my point is, why bother with a 318 if you can build a 360?
(and ill say the same for the 340 vs 360 debate, but thats a different argument)
