Where's the 340 crate engines???

NOT what?
That an equivalently built 360 will out run a 340?
Or, that a 5.2L magnum makes more HP than a 340?
Lets see you build a 360 and a 340 both with the same compression, same heads, same valves, same cam, same intake and same carb. Now the difference is 20 cubic inches of displacement. The 340 will rev higher because of the shorter stroke but the 360 will make more power every where else because of the additional cubes. Like they same there is no replacement for displacement.
The 340 six-pac was rated at 295HP and the 4bbl was rated at 275HP. These were gross numbers. The net rating is generally accepted to be about 25% less than the gross rating. That makes the 340 six-pac rated at 221HP and the 340 4bbl rated at 206 both below the 235HP net number of a 5.2L magnum.
