I'll probably be flogged for this, but 318's are probably more common in Europe, just as they are here on this side of the pond. A cheap (free?) 318 with a stroker crank installed is 390 cubic inches, no slouch & should rev up quickly just like a 340. And it can be dressed like a 340. Given the rarity of the car and it's collector value, you should long term look at finding a correct '71 340.
