Lord have mercy boys, all I wanted to know is if 340 owners were happy with it.  Didn't mean to start world war 3 on here.  I'm gonna have fun with my 340 when i get it on the road, cause when life is this short...you need to go out and burn some rubber instead of giving a diatribe on small block vs big block

No offense, but I think you knew exactly where this thread was gonna end up and once there you wanna come back in and act like it surprized you..."340, happy with it?" thread..Seriously? You honestly thought NO ONE was gonna offer the contrasting big block as a viable option? yeah sure..You'd have a better chance with something like "Gov. are you happy with it?" Than, dare anybody to talk about Obama....

Actually, a perfectly reasonable response that brought in the 440 would have been "I'm happy with my 440," whch could conceivable have included a "...and here's why" coda, with neither the small block nor the big block contingent disparaging the others.

No arguement, just stating MY opinion...Now, I could take what you just said to heart, but I won't. I think I could have been justified in stating something like "This is an A&B Conversation, how did YOU get in it?" But I won't...Unfortunately, I didn't when the other guy did...Don't think your gonna come at me on the forum and I'll just "Walk away", or "Chill"....Your gonna get it back three fold....
