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

So at any rate you spend $1,800 on getting your 318 rebuilt to your specs in machine work , what do pistons cost $400? So with black Friday sales the intake, cam and carb would still be in the $3,000 area corret?
I need to go see if my 318 Duster still runs.. I'm almost convinced at 750 bucks I should only have a block. LOL. Shoot !! After 6 years it still runs as hard as a factory 340 ! I messed up somewhere.... LOL.
