Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

Well you were talking about dollar for dollar. LOL

If I were looking to build a small budget block and my choices were a free 318, a $300 360 and a $1500 340 there is no doubt in my mind which I'd use. The $300 would be money well spent. I would however take the 318 and sell it. :poke::lol:
but ... the 360 isn't part of the discussion... 318 vs 340... lol why is this so hard ??
