Value of a 340

Back in the day, 340's were the sh&# especially compared to the 327 chevy and the 302 Ford. This day and age, 360's are every bit as good as a 340 and are cheaper to build factoring in the cost of the core and the bonus 20 cubic inches. I've had a few stout 340's in the past and frankly, i've never been impressed with them. They are good and all, but they aren't all they are cracked up to be IMHO.
They are great for resto and hype, and don't get me wrong, i love and respect the 340 cars, but they have their niche/place in the mopar community.
And the stories of old go on.......
