360 Magnum vs 340 mild street build - my experience
Good thing for me I wasn't on the internet then, and the only car shows I like to enter my car in are the ones where the cars are moving down the track. I didn't say the cam moved the power band down 2000 rpm's. What I said was, the 340 really came to life from 3k - 6k. The way the car was set up favored bottom end torque and the 360 seem to move straight out of the box without any issue. To further this I used the two engines for a comparison of the 340/360 with the same components, I removed the heads, intake, carb, and cam from that 340 and put them on the 360. At the strip, the 360 went 3 tenths faster in the same car, same gear, same tranny and TC. I did replace the dished pistons in the 360 with 4 valve relief speed pro cheapies so the compression would be just about the same.
