If it’s ever been mocked, it was behind my back for sure. When I’m out tearing around with the car on the weekends, guys just make the assumption it’s a 340 or 360 under the hood.
I have overheard a few people saying "the only thing wrong with it is it's a 318" a few times with my Coronet. Gears makes the biggest bang for the buck to multiply your torque! Making engine mods has a much much lower ftlbs/dollar return on investment.
