Value of a 340

I have two 340 blocks awaiting future builds. I like 'em. Big bore, short stroke, always a winner.

Seems like the 360 can make more torque at an earlier RPM I don't see many 360's running at 7,000 rpm like a 340 can. I'm sure they're out there though.

Everyone will tell you that 360's grow on trees and guys give them away for peanuts. In 2010 that may not be as true as it was ten years ago.

Also, there's less interchange between 360's and the rest of the LA engines. Different stroke, different mains, pistons etc.

Strokers toss all that out the window.
