70 318?
Attn: Anybody in NC...if you have FREE 318's -I will take them.
Stroked340: If your 340 is really stroked, it's no longer a 340 and your point is not even valid anymore. You can stroke a 318 as well to a 390.
Free 340's?? Have never seen one. 318's have killer potential and people that think 340's are superior are stuck in the 70's. Why?? because performance parts have come a long way. A 318 today can easily run as good as a 340 IF you know what you are doing. The 340 only has a 22 cubic inch advantage over a 318. 22 more cubes and the 340 is superior? The 340 has high compression, better heads, better manifolds and a better camshaft. NEWSFLASH...This stuff can all be adapted to a ...yes..! boat anchor FREE 318!! People that say 318's can't run are clueless.
I see people wanting stupid prices for 340's and I mean just for the block!! I sold my last 340 to buy a 360. A 360 has more potential and it's more bang for the buck because I bought the 360 and pocketed the money over having that magical "340' number. While the 340 is legendary and I like them, the point is that there is no best Mopar engine made and it's all about what you like. 340 blocks for $500+?? That' IMO is a complete ripoff because you can buy a complete 360 for that and have money left over like I mentioned.
Oh yeah, when the engine is free, that is more money that you can pump into the build of the engine. You can have your magical cubic inch engine and I'll take the horsepower!!
