New to V8's. 340 or 383?
I can tell I am getting in a battle, so here is my 2 worthless pennys. I have a sick 340 that I built. It's bad ***, however, I built a 383 that would rev over 7000 RPM. And it did not cost more than a SB build. A 383 revs almost as quick as a SB, but has BB power. Say what you want, but a 383 (Magnum, w/906 heads, steel crank, good intake and exhaust, cam) some oiling mods, will blow away a 360! :finga:I would trade my 340 for 1 now (and I have $3500 in my 340) I built it, not a shop, love it, but it ain't no 383! And I have a few 440's as well........they just don't rev like a 383!
