Please school me on this motor

Yanked the stroker 340 out on Saturday, and put the 318 in yesterday. Wow, this little motor runs sweet. Starts instantly, you could stand a quarter on edge, as it runs so smooth. (NOS electronic distributor with vacuum advance as opposed to the race distributor)

The difference in power is very dramatic, but I am happy with the change so far. I drove it to work today.

My wife tells me I am getting really slow, it took me more than twice as long as used to. It is just getting hard to get down on the creeper, and get back up.

22 years ago, I got the crank for my 383 back at 1 on Saturday, and was at the drag strip at 7, now it took me that long just to pull a motor, with much better equipment.

(I had a cable puller hooked to a cross beam in the attic of the garage then, now I have a hoist.)
