340 vs 360

Yes,....I said overrated!

Overrated, by the fact that MOST people think you have to have a 340 based small block to make the most power/torque.

This has been hashed out so much, its not worth it to go into detail about the pros/cons.

I prefer 318's and 360's because of the availability. Finding a 340 anywhere close to me is nearly impossible without some serious cash outlay....and there is really no measureable sacrifice in using a 360 over the 340....when faced with this dilemma its almost always more beneficial to start with more cubic inches.

So, say what you want about my opinions...I measure most of your comments with a grain of salt...I have another one that will hurt your feelings....300-400whp out of any engine over 5.0L is pretty pathetic with todays technology and parts availability.....and I know what you'll say or think next...."oh yeah, what do you have that makes more, that isn't pathetic".....and to that I say...nothing at the moment.....but my next small block will be 318 based and make more Wheel Horsepower than a Naturally Aspirated 426 Hemi....no hood scoop needed.
