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

These threads are always kind of silly. You couldn't give me a 318, even just for a "peppy" street motor. About 12 years ago had a '71 Dart with a bone-stock 318 2bbl. It could actually smoke the tires easily, made some torque but would not rpm past 3,500-4,000, tops. Took it to the track in this form once just for fun, ran a 17.67 1/4 mile at like 71 mph or something.




I went 15.9 @ 84 mph in a stone-stock 318 2bbl auto, 2.94 gears in a 4 door B-body.
