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

I wonder if any 340 owner would do a $3000 limit 'buy the block' and build from scratch then do a heads up 'Claimer' race with a $3000 scratch 318 build?

No 'RINGERS' like an R block sitting in the garage, both must acquire a new to them, fair market price block and NO free'bees.
