When was the last time you wore a t-shirt pulling a motor outside in October in CT, probably as many times as I've done it in eastern WA... never. It's already been in the 20's here.

John, it gonna be sweet.

Dang,just got home with all kinds of responses !!!!

Let me see if I can answer all in a few sentences.

The 340 will never blow because it is a 360......:headbang:

I don't like this trash talk about the 318. It is a great motor and can make great power with a little thinking. I didn't have the $$$ that a lot of people have, being 22, so I took my 318 and rebuilt it, worked the STOCK heads and milled them slightly, used my existing Edelbrock induction, added hooker comp headers, Comp XE268 cam, buttoned it up, painted it hemi orange and away she went. Pulls hard and strong and likee to rev. Should right at or above 300 horsepower.

Cmon people. We are ALL mopar people, atleast most of us are. Some of us cannot go out and waste what they already have. I have one 340 and love them both.

Either way, a mopar is a mopar, and can run strong either way, with a little effort.:headbang:

I agree that the 318 is a good motor,and can be made to run very well.
After I added the 4bbl intake/carb,dual exhaust,electronic ign, to my 318 I could light em up with no problem.Dusted lots of folks on the street with it.
 
A grand for a 318...yikes,,whats this world coming too..\

its october here in PA, was 75 today wil be 86 friday and saturday,,,and sunday,,going to a street rod meet,,,

and dont laugh at a 318 poly,,,they run like heck,,,there is a hold society of poly guys now doing research on those motors,,,realizing what mopar did so many times,,,they never investagated what they had,,,the poly motors,, or the 360,,while in production,,

that dart looks great in CALIF,,so does that new motor,,,,have fun,eat some stangs,,,
