Precisely my point. With todays prices on 340's, if the budget is ... even 4k or under, i think the 318 wins the race. And... I'm a pro-340 guy. But, I'm a realist. I've never been the guy that says "I'll push my mopar before I ride in your Chevy". I'll tell ya, if my mopar leaves me along the side of the road on a hot/humid day, I'll gladly get in your A/C Chivvy and take the ride, and pay you for your lift !!!!
