well, I thought the title and opening post was pretty clear. Folks will throw out anything but what the thread is about, regardless. If it was about stock stroke 360's, somebody by post 4 would say "why not 408". It's who we are here.. unfortunately. I really thought this subject was worth the conversation. I'd take the 340 in a heart beat both for free. But, if I had to buy and build, would a guy be better off with a 318? Even up to 4k to spend?? Just food for thought.... which motor goes faster ??
