318 value

I admit IF a guy has a real 340 car, it needs a 340 motor. But if you think about all the costs that go into restoring (building) any old car, spending an extra $1000 or so for a 340 core motor to go in most any old Mopar be it born with a 318, slant... makes sense in the long run. But people will always say: I will NEVER sell this car(yea right) and the 318 is fine enough or I just can't afford that or...... add up what a guy spends even if he does all the work himself...$1000 is a pimple on an elephants ***. I have built plenty of 318 Dusters simply because that suited me fine and when it sells, the next guy can do whatever.

I have a bud back in Mo. that is a pro mechanic and over the last 3 decades or so has built many a 360, restored and built # cars, drag cars, etc. I mean all bored maybe stroked. He loves BBs and hates the 360. He will say darn near every one runs HOT!!! I don't know and don't care. Maybe while all these guys want the sillye lectric fans!!>>> :BangHead:
