340 Vs 360

Combine the two...

Get a 340 block that will go .030 to 4.07, or even .040 to 4.08

Find a 360 crank CORE, (probably free if you look) and since it will have to be turned anyway...turn the mains down to fit the 340 block.

Shelf (hyper = cheap) pistons are available and with a light SCAT rod, you'd have 372+ tire shredding cubic inches inches! HUGE bang for the buck, it you ask me.

Seems like I see a few reasonably priced 340 cores her in CA every week...

QUOTE{all you would have is a .070 to .080 overbored 360 with .300 cut

from the mains of a cast crank. "huge bang for the buck" hardly.......more like a huge cut from your wallet}.

REALLY !!!!!!
I had a 340 with a 360 crank in it and the 340 came out of a boat on top of that... that was a very fun engine .. it is built right and mine was .. in had it pro built .Not as bad as you would think on the price to have it built that way. the price was some wear around 4.500 and that was 15 years ago ..
Best time was 12.03 @ 110.68 with a 60ft of 1.62. now super fast but fun . I put a ton of cars on the road home back home .. if I would have a better rear set up it would have gone in the 11:90 or 80s.
