340 Vs 360
A lifelong racer in my area who has dedicated his life to racing Mopars wrote a book detailing many things he did and why. Most notably was the fact that the engines he raced that produced the highest horsepower never E.T'd the best at the drag strip.The 340 was not a big torque or big hp engine. It was not overly fast back in the day. But it was quick if that makes any sense.It's quick revving characteristics helped it beat many bigger engines making more hp.
There is more to this hobby than who can make the most hp.
