what is the best small block and why ?

340 all the way!! Bigger 2.02 heads, steel crank pre 72', high volume oil pump, higher rpm's stock. Worth more for resale. Not many around like 318's n 360's. 318 with 360 heads makes it a wedge motor but the crank won't hold up. This was mopar's high performance small block for the 70's.

So why did mopar stop building the 340 and keep building the 360?

after all the 340 had better heads..crank...timing chains...cured acne ....impotent .....

install 2.02 valve/heads....use kb107 pistons...pick your cam...360 all the way...


with engines that are over 40 yrs old...there is nothing stock anymore...rebuild the engine with new parts and be faster...

and I have not still seen a 360 break a crank...and I am no spring chicken....LOL


here is your modern day 360......
