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

Me too Dave. It was maroon with a AMC 327 under the hood. A set of Cragars and I would have been set. LOL
Where that 327 was sitting, a 401 would pop in place.

The AMC 327 was a nice engine. Maybe not SBC 327 nice. I had a Madadore for 2 weeks with the 401. Smooth as silk power.
