I am a firm believer that if the 360 had been introduced in '68' rather than the 340 and built to 340 type specs the tables would have been turned. Built and seen built many 360 with stock dished pistons small 265 470ish & lift cams & 1.88 valve heads, (2.02 didn't do a thing in our trials in fact the 1.88 gave/gives more low end) cars in full street trim with 3.91 gears run at least a half second quicker than the stock 340's of the era. (By the way I was there and owned them)
