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?
