what is the best small block and why ?

hy guys i bought a 76 dodge dart about a month ago and it corrently has a 318. what is the best small block 340 or 360 and why is it better. i see alot of people running 340 but to me i would think a 360 would be better to build because of bigger cid but i just dont know so if some one could educate me that would be great.

what exactly are you trying to do. i have had quite a few 340 motors over the years. i won't pick them up unless its a really good deal. i sell them to some numbers chump and fund a 360 project. :)


both will do the job. 9 times out of ten you'll be able to pick up a 360 for hundreds cheaper so your ahead of the game there and the longer stroke is what i like. i wan't tq. thats what gets a car moving.
