again a 440 any-body will walk a 340 any-body. I said it outloud.

I care to diagree!! Lighter bodies + loads of low end torque (440) = bad 60ft times/traction problems, UNLESS you have a GOOD chassis setup!!
Not enough top end hp/too much low midrange (440),
340 WILL out-leg it!!

$ for $ I'll give you 2 lights.

I wouldn't race against YOUR car with 2 lights (lengths) start in a 340, it be a SLAUGHTER match, unless I'm running a "stroker 408 or larger" SB motor.

both can be fast however if you are starting from square 1 and one guy/gal has a 440 mill and one has a 340 and both spend the same amount of money/buy the same parts...the 440 will ALWAYS win. (1/4 mile anyway)

Parts wise and expense, 440 gets the nod, not as much for power output/chassis weight comparisons.
Again, depends on the chassis they are in for the race to be fair!! Go by power to weight
figures, say 10 to 1 for both. 375/440 should be in 3750lb B-body (approx), while the 275(335 actual hp approx.)/340 should be in a 3350lb A-body (approx). Makes sense to me!!
