I ran 7800rpm in my race car for 6 years on a stock cast crank 360 with H-beam rods and hypereutectic pistons. Finally took it apart after all that time, and it looked brand new. My vote is for the 360. There is nothing magical about a 340, or the block itself. 8 cubes is 8 cubes! 1969 Nova 454/M21/3.31 Mild mid-11 second weekend cruiser 1994 F150 XLT Super Cab 2WD 5.0/4R70W/3.55 (Daily driver)

The main cap bolts are spaced further apart on a 360 because of the larger bearing. I would think thay are about the same strength. The 8 cubes won't make any difference. Even if you decide to build the 360, you should still get that 340 for $150. Flip it and put the money toward the build.

Personally I like the 340's for nothing more than name only, either is a great base for a street strip 400-500HP stroker build.

No , you are correct , if building a smallblock stroker that's a good base .

A 408 with a mild hydraulic cam is 450hp. And "mild" in terms of a camshaft in a 4" stroke engine starts at 245�@.050. The 340 has less vlave shrouding, the 360 piston rocks less and can get closer to the head safely in a max effort build. IMO, the mains dont mean squat. In fact, the piston rock and shrouding don't mean a heck of a lot until you max things out anyway. Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

I sold the 340 for what I paid for it and then sold the parts on the 360 I wasn't going to use and came out ahead. 360's are easy to find and cheap. I'd prefer to see the 340 left as a 340 for someone who needs it for a restoration. BTW I would take a mild 450 hp stroker smallblock over a 450 hp 340 or 360, especially on the street. You can run less gear, cam, and convertor with a larger engine and still go just as quick. The bottom end power of a 4" crank smallblock is a real eye opener.

Cast crank and lite pistons/rods make it easy to internally balance with no mallory. I used ported EQ magnum heads on my 390 and I figure it should be right at 450HP...

Soooo, I took it & a cracked 383 block to the local scrap place. It was decked & line bored. The cylinders were bored .030 over, but had some rust.

Buy a B+M weighted flexplate , problem solved ... or INTERNAL BALNCE IT ??? Your convertor is NOT an issue .

Should have been worth more than $40 unless there was something seriously wrong with it. I have a running 340 (bore unknown) in my dart now, and a 360 shortblock (standard bore) that I bought for $100. My plans are to sell the running 340 to help offset the cost of building a 408. Couldn't get rid of it. I offered it to a couple guys here for $200 + shipping, offered it for just shipping, then tried giving it away locally.... nobody wanted it. Soooo, I took it & a cracked 383 block to the local scrap place. It was decked & line bored. The cylinders were bored .030 over, but had some rust. So, they would have needed to be cleaned up to probably .040. Figures. I offered a guy $500.00 for a 340 core here and didn't get it.

Just a couple years ago I found my running '68 340 with X heads on Ebay, complete from oil pan to intake for $500. Then again, just last week we bought a complete '88 360 with 727 trans for $99 off Ebay. Even has a carb, distributor, air cleaner, mini starter, power steering pump, clutch fan, and all the brackets. Maybe we're just lucky. lol
