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

I'm 100% with you here - I wish people would stick with the OP's intention of the discussion, instead of trying to (and usually succeeding) skew the discussion from the original point and intent. It's just basic courtesy and good will. of course, opinions are allowed but they are at the expense of the original idea. Now the thread has moved from 318 /340 dollar for dollar build comparo to bringing in 360s/ magnums and 440s !


You would be silly not to bring 360’s into this discussion. The cost factor of the 340 goes out the window and free cubic inches walk in to the discussion.
