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

I've been on here a little over 20 months and have never X any one.

I have built a few 2.2's, 3 273's, maybe 15 318's and 20 360's but never a 340, never need to. I am doing my first 5.9. I've helped build many others. I started when I was 12 and I am 65 now.

I tend to get IGNORANT when someone calls me stupid or fool. I have studied most things automotive over the years, and I have a lot of hands on, not just book learning. I also try to teach or mentor people if they want to learn. But if you think my answers are Bat Crap, explain in simple terms and I may learn.

I will not piss on your back if you don't like what I have to say. If you don't like me, that is NONE of my business and it will not change my way of dealing with you.

I've always loved the idea of building an actual blueprinted 1971 340. Right by the book specs. Chrysler didn't do that. Their decks were tall and crooked, their chambers too big and a myriad of other inconsistencies that I would get dead right. The only one deviation I might make would be to use the 68 4 speed cam. Cheatin a little, but still a stock Chrysler piece. Even use the 71 iron intake and TQ. ...but add big tube headers. In an A body of course. Kinda stock eliminator style. But alas, it'll never happen. It'd be fun though.
