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

3200# isn't exactly light, hell a slant can be fast in a light car. My 340 would've been better off with a better flat solid cam and a 950HP but it is what it is. The numbers I posted are real world number that it ran, not hypothetical or hearsay.

BTW, the 380 crate engine wasn't a 318/5.2.
So you are saying that the duster 318willrun posted numerous times is all a lie? It's been documented over and over again. Here I will lay some facts out for you again! A 340 has a 22hp capability advantage over a 318. I never argued that. Point I was making is that a 380hp crate motor was well documented running into the mid to upper 11's with stock magnum heads and another smaller camshaft. So for someone to tell me how much they have tied up into their motor with a bunch high dollar parts is mind boggling to me. What did the 395hp crate motor run? I don't know haven't seen any bonified published numbers.
