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.

But then if the 340 dude or the 318 dude spends $50,000 on chassis build this race becomes moot. The person that can get the 450 HP to hook wins in most races.

I'd bet a highly tuned 273 stuck in a current 'PRO Stock' chassis and body would spank this $3000 340 in a 1972 Duster with stock suspension......
