340 Vs 360

Think of the 360 as a stroked 340. Or the 340 as a over bored 318 which is an over bored 273. Each is just a progression of the original design and an improvement IMO. Had they built a 360 in the true muscle car years as a muscle car motor the advantage would have been clear. You see a lot of Chevy guys making the same claims on the 327 vs the 350.
