Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

He kept losing the bottom end in his 383 stroker and went back to his 327.
He's been running a 327 for over 40 years.

Did you ever put a SBC 383 together? What a disaster waiting to happen. A friend of mine wanted one so I put it together for him. Looked at everything close, and pulled and sold the 383 stroker stuff and put it back to a 350. A 327 is my favorite SBC, followed by a 283.
