340 Vs 360

@Dartswinger70 I try and sometimes people get pissed off at me. It is what it is….
You still can not increase C.I.D. through RPM!

Never said you can increase CID through rpm, just what an engine actually displaces the displacement/volume of air per minute, CFM which is cid x rpm / 3456 = ve% which Cid is part of that process. I see CFM as a measure of displacement.

This is where people like the 340 better. The shorter stroke can rotate or/or cycle through all of its cylinders quicker. If you reduce the engine size via stroke, the engine will keep doing what the example is above quicker and so on and so on….

Agreed, a 340 basically always be made to be spun slightly higher to displace the same cfm as a 360 and a 318 can't cause a 318 & 340 always can be made to spin the same rpm. But for the average 300-450 hp build there all capable.

Back in my youth, the 318 paper weight was for people moving and the 360 “DOG” motor was for big car people moving.
383’s (A big block that thinks it’s a small block) was the poor man’s big block and somewhat disrespected because the 440 rules the day.

I know people who still feel that way
