340 Vs 360

360's and 340's were scrap motors when I started out. lol
That's when I was young and dumb. I'd pick the 360 now if I am building a small block.
There just isn't enough bore difference for me not to take the stroke of a 360.
I'll take a 383 over a 340 any day.

I agree and have known people who wouldn't even bother with a small block LA it was 383 minimum but they were also running B bodies LOL! The one guy did stick a 383 in a 69 Dart and drag raced it. Looking at the 70s 318, 36 were low comp smog motors,the 340 was a factory performance small block built to rev. 340 is special in a collectable sense. very good in an A body barracuda, Duster, Dart, Demon etc.
