Question about the price of 340s

When 360 came out in 71 and if it came with all the 71 340 goods. It would of been top banana and 340 would be more like how Chev view the 327.

Too bad Chrysler just didn't add the 3.58 stroke to the 340 block in 71 and come up with a 367.

that would have been costly with the 3.58 stroke large journal crank.They would have needed new pistons as well and they wouldn't balance with the cast crank.360's had sm valve heads too.They wouldn't have re-tooled in lieu of the dropping performance, emissions and oil industry problems.1970 was the last performance year for most.
