Stop discarding good 340 engines ! !

Dude, I totally hear you. I am not disagreeing that a 360 can be built as a very awesome motor. It's just that the 340 was SO popular and has a kind of magical power that it just kind of talks to some of us. It's a sort of "If you build it, they will come" thing. I know I can build an awesome 475HP 360 for less money than a 475HP 340, but I'd still rather have the 340.

To me it comes down like this and the real world of Street Racing it's about who can RPM faster a 340 is kind of like a 383 Magnum as soon as you get into the gas that thing's ready to shift! If you got your combination correct and things are dialed in about halfway where they're supposed to be anyhow... I've just had real good luck and a lot of fun with both of those Motors
