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

Not one of the "anti's" (we won't call them haters) even acknowledged post 1082 or 1083. Hmmmm.... A live demonstration with video and build and not even an acknowledgement. Why? It doesn't fit their narrative... which is a sign of a closed minded person where blindness is due to partiality.
AGAIN.... 1970 318, under .500 lift, eddy heads, eddy rpm, 650 brawler..... 11's on pump gas and in street trim.

You're right - that's a hell of a hotrod right there, but I'd be willing to bet he's got more than $3,000 in that 318. Either way, it's certainly a badass Mopar!
