The "Throw Away 318"

You are essentially using just the block and using 340 360 everything else which has been my point all along. 318 guys will say "318is just as good as a 340..." which is misleading. They never finish the sentence which would go something like "...with ,mods, and a wise choice of parts from a 340-360..."

It always comes down to parts, combination, and tuning. A million ways to skin that cat. What do you have? How much time and money do you want to throw at it? How far or fast do you want to go, and how much are you willing to put up with.
