340 vs 360

Hey guys-------
I know that the 340 is the more sot after engine and is a stronger unit (well back in the day) more expensive, harder to find etc etc
I know the 360 was a dog compared to the 340 back in the day, but one would think with today technology (after market head, intake etc) that you could build it just as strong and quick has a 340.
Or is there some fact that i am missing? Are there any real big disadvantages to going with a 360 over a 340 in todays day and age?



i say leave the expensive 340 for the resto guys.. i want the 20 extra cubes right off the bat.... nothing wrong with a 340 but the 360 i easier to find and cheaper to buy in most cases..... the problem years ago was there were no off the shelf pistons that would give the 360 any compression.. thats all changed... i know more guys racing 360's now then 340's anymore....
