360 or 318 which would you rather have???

At the very least this thread is drawing some views.

I built a 318 because I had one with low miles and good bores/pistons. Only machine shop money I spent was on a basic valve job. If I was even thinking about a full round of machine work and new pistons I would go for the 360. As awsome and durable as 318s are, I havent seen too many 360s kill themselves the way some larger small blocks of other brands do.

And I think a 109 would smoke a p40 in the air. If you look up the stats, almost half of all 109 losses were on takeoff and landing because of the narrow track width of the landing gear. The engine in the Messerschmitt was true work of art and engineering.

But, I digress. I like 440's.
