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

You're likely correct I don't even think I read the first post... Or I may have I'm not sure. I've been seeing this thread go on and on and on so I finally jumped in to see what all the hub was about... The theme seem to turn to making 400 horsepower in a 318 for 3K... I just answered my opinion on that subject whether it was the original one or not...
But just like others have a reputation for being the way they are under any assumed name you do also have one for starting extremely loose end controversial threads... That create this kind of hoopla... Of course I would never do anything like that...:rolleyes:...

I think if you go back and read the 1st post, there is nothing there to that's offensive. It dawned on me the other day that in today's market, the 318 could actually be the smart choice even with a 3k budget. All due to the collectors, or class racers, of course. Never once did I say the 340 is blah blah, I love 340's, I've owned 340's, including a factory 340 4 speed '69 cuda. I just thought it was a iconic moment in mopar history. If folks had an open mind in our hobby, not nearly so many undies would be in a bundle !
