Take your pick, man.
What are you thinking you'll need an aftermarket crank for?

i would love to stroke my 318 to a 340 and it seems like it would be possible.

i don't know about a high performance crank because the one in the engine is reliable and can probably take high revving abuse.

Hughesengines.com will take your stock 318 and turn it into a 390 stroker, cost a couple thousand... but it all depends on whatyou will be using it for

I've found a few places that have stroker kits for the 318's. Mainly cuz I want to get one and rebuild it since I have the almighty V6. It would be a great next engine mod!

toolfan, if you want a 340, try and find one in a salvage yard and rebuild. if memory serves me right the bore was about .040" bigger than the 360(4.040 maybe) but same stroke as a 318.

that 340 is one of my all time favorite Dodge motors. a friend had a '71 duster 340 wedge. that little motor would scream.

maybe you could de-stroke to get a 340?

And, the 340 came with 2.02/1.60 intake/exhaust valve sizes. Any 360 head can be fitted with these valves.
