340ci vs 360ci engine

340 vs 360, hmmm.

Depends on the 340 and what the end use of the engine is going to be.

68-71 340s are my choice for the same money. Big valves, high compression, & forged crank. Best for competition.

My dream small block is a 340 B&S to 355 set up for street & mild comp. To my way of thinking both HP & torque get boosted without excessive piston speed.

Other than the 68-71 340, I'd take the 360 for street use.
