Dodger,

Remember there are two ways to go fast Cubic inches or Cubic Dollars.
All other things being equal, Cubic inches wins. Two engines prepared
equal, a 340 and 360 in equal chassis, the 360 car will win more times
than not.

Earl


I posed this question the other day but got no comments on it,  any 
thoughts???


Okay here we go,,,,,,,,,,340s wind up quicker than a 360 (because of
shorter 
stroke)? 360s have more torque than a 340 (longer stroke more cubes)? In
a 
lighter car, the quicker winding engine will probably win in a short
race (1/8 
maybe 1/4 mile).? 318 and 360 used engines are cheap, if not free
compared to 
the 340s.
? In the chevys, they make an oversize main bearing to accommodate a
smaller 
journal crank into a larger main block (creating a stroker engine) by
any 
chance is the same type part available for the mopars????????????? In
other words 
do we have the ability to take a cheap 360 block, bore it 40 thousands 
oversize, grab a set of used 340 pistons that someone is ready to throw
away after 
their rebuild on their high dollar engine, then go to the junkyard, and
grab a 
318 crank and rods, hang the 340 pistons on it slap this all together in
the 
360 block, and end up with a high reving? 340 cubic inch engine with the
heavier 
webbed 360 mains.
And while the mind is still idle what about the use of a 360 crank with
the 
mains turned down to fit in to a 318 block, can the skirts of the
pistons be 
trimmed to clear the counter weights, would make one heck of a tow
vehicle 
engine.
??? Well what is the consensus, to much caffeine?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
