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

Ok, more details.... 1970 318 short block; 650 Brawler carb, under .500 lift cam (that's right, under), eddy heads, RPM air gap intake, Crane gold rockers, 3200 stall and 4.30's. He was in and won my small block race I did two years in a row, using the deduction chart.
