Where's the 340 crate engines???

This has turned into one of those "Can of worms" debates that really never ends. You can't compare stock 340's to stock 360's just like you can't compare apples to oranges. There's just to many differences. Compression, valve size, cam size, carbs, exhaust manifolds, etc.... The shorter stroke of the 340 naturally revs higher but produces less torque than the longer arm 360. The longer stroke 360 produces more low end torque, period!! The larger 360 mains have a little more friction that take away a little power so that's a deficit to the 360.

For a street/strip car give me the torque anyday. I like to iniliate tires.
