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

But when newbies come to this site with their 318 car and limited budget, and some tell them to "get a 340"... they have to buy one....

And your premise is really flawed because why would ANYONE use the 340 when the '69 440 6 pack is right behind the 340 in the same guy's garage.. !! :poke:

Why not help the newbies and tell them to find more money instead of throwing garbage together. I don’t care who you are, you can’t build anything decent with 3k. Not even close. As I said early on, this argument is to fluff your ego. The real world doesn’t operate on financial skimping that ends up with something that is just a cleaned up worn out engine. I see you are quite happy the poll is rolling your way, and I call that a sad testimonial to the state of the hobby right now. Cheap is cheap and cheap is almost never good.
