And the 340 can stroke to a 416, which is cooler than a 408.
As the old saying goes, there's no substitute for cubic inches.
A 360 built the same way as a 340 will win every single time, all other things equal. I don't know where you got your information, but I'm sorry, you're incorrect. The 360's longer stroke means it will have more bottom end torque, leaving the 340 off the line and the more cubes will keep it pulling ahead. As the old saying goes, there's no substitute for cubic inches. It holds true every time.

Tell me how a stroked 340 to a 408 runs rings around a 360 stroked to a 416 also what you are saying is a stock 396 chevy can out run a stock 340? never happned and never will.One thing is what are you building it for makes a lot of differance

Have seen that done and the 340 won every time.That was tested right in are neighborhood in the late 70,s.And to tell you what they were they were to dusters built the same.So a 350 chevy with 10 more CI will out run a 340?You learn something new everyday.I wonder why they always seen my taillights HMMM I guess bad drivers.Also I wonder bill jenkins whooped in so many hemi's with a 331ci.My guess is bad drivers again.

The 360 easily bores .070 over to make a 416. I've done two, and two 408s as well.
That makes it as cool as a 340 stroked to a 416!
But .070 over...Ouch. No problems with them at all? Do you race them? If so did you fill the blocks? I assume that sonic checking beforehand would be an absolute must. Personally I would be more comfortable with a thicker bore than a few extra cubes but that's just me.
Kudos! Yeah, I've heard the '71-'73 blocks test the best.
thats just my point.........the 360 and the 340 were never born equal...the 340 is a better performer out of the box. Period!!!

who the heck is talking out of the box?
"flip it to a numbers clown"
...where did that come from?
After reading this thread I just got to a point with all this ridiculousness here I couldn't stay out of it. BILL JENKINS! Are you serious? Your talking about a legendary engine builder & innovator who was at the top of his game vs so many also rans at the time. It wasn't the multi-millionaire only class that it is today. Also the Pro Stock class at that time had weight breaks based on cubic inches, so there was an advantage to running a smaller engine/ lighter car combination. Remember Glidden & his Plymouth Arrow? Weight breaks is why he changed over.Have seen that done and the 340 won every time.That was tested right in are neighborhood in the late 70,s.And to tell you what they were they were to dusters built the same.So a 350 chevy with 10 more CI will out run a 340?You learn something new everyday.I wonder why they always seen my taillights HMMM I guess bad drivers.Also I wonder bill jenkins whooped in so many hemi's with a 331ci.My guess is bad drivers again.
