my first mopar, will i love it or hate it?

spend a lil' time reading and learning the ins and outs and what works and what don't, as you gather parts to build any of the smallblocks that were mentioned keep that 340 in the back of your mind, once you get one you will know what i am talking about a 360 will impress you and the parts for it will fit the 340 and the 318 except for the oil pan the 360 is a torque monster where the 318 will want more cam, looser convertor and such....the 340 won't care :burnout:
they just like to rev on the top end
