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

Can we put a fork in this thing by just agreeing that they will cost EXACTLY the same except for the cost of the block. If a car had a 340 in it that needed rebuilding would a guy go buy a 318 core because they are cheaper to build? What component is more expensive for a 340 than it is for a 318?

I just learned that on Youtube and Instagram there is this thing called "Engagement Rate". It is a metric that is used to determine how much engagement a user is getting from other users. I have read that it is something that can be addictive. Sometimes people will post controversial content to get more hits because in the algorithm, every engagement counts.

Here it would equate to someone who gets a dopamine hit from getting "likes" or 'thanks" on their posts or from how many pages one of their threads can go.

For such a simple topic the OP seems to relish that the thread lasted this far and over 100 people have voted.
Oh, and wouldn't you know it, the OP is a YouTuber. Hmm. Addicted to engagement?

I really like 318WR ! Will it ever stop? A much better comparison would have been 3.58 stroke vs. 3.31". Or 3.79" stroke vs. 4.00". Closed chamber head vs. Open?

Again, nobody can tell me my intents. I can tell you my intents and whether you believe them or not it's up to you. I remember when I bought a complete 340 for 125 bucks, ran well when pulled. That was a good deal. Getting a 340 in those days made absolutely perfect sense, even if you paid 300. But I'll state it again.... collectors and class racers has turned it into a lot more $$$$. All I was asking is have we reached the time in our Mopar world where even on a 3k budget is the 318 the faster engine ??? If you think 340 is still the bang for the buck, cool~! Unfortunately, 340 "only" guys have found 101 reasons of why it's all wrong, including me wanting attention LOL :D :D. Yet, all they have to do is just answer the question of "yes" or "no". If they even want to explain all their "why's", then post up!! But to all those that accuse me of "starting controversy" or "wanting attention"... LOL Sheez, really? Not a clue, simply not a clue.
