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

If I would have posted 302 vs 351C on a 2500 dollar budget, it would have made sense and we'd have had a nice discussion.
That one would have gone sideways in a heartbeat too, lol
"What about a 351 windsor? What about a 400 m? How about a 347 stroker? Etc, etc, and etc. Lol.
Free 289, anybody?
