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

Does anyone have a stone stock 340 core and would like to have fun ?? Semi-locally ??? I have a 318 magnum on the engine stand. Complete factory stock. We could actually do this. Document the build, how each dollar was spent. ABSOLUTELY no "my friend gave me eddy heads". All parts must be purchased at fair market value. Gaskets, pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, etc etc must be bought, not pulled off your shelf to keep it as the "guy who just bought a Dart and needs and engine" would have to do. then dyno them.

Darn, I just finished the 340 build and never saved a receipt!

WoW...That's a mouthful.

No it’s not.:D

I went back and read the original post and didn't see anything mentioned of an 18yr old ?

Yea, no ****. So, answer the question, what’s your buying power over a 18YO kid?
Also, since it is most like a lot more, should he listen to the board and dump the 318 & get a 340?

Like I said, get what you can afford. There's still deals out there if you look. I would rather hold out for a 340, or another displacement we're not talking about. Looking at the pole, the majority agrees.

Even though you said build what you can afford, your still pushing and advocating a larger engine over a 318 for the not so thick in the wallet guy right?
If not, I sure seems that way and makes me wonder why your even replying.
