In Mopar small block V8s, they had similar -
318 and 340 had the same stroke, 340 obviously with a larger bore.
The 360 had the 340 bore with longer stroke.
But the 340 was the one that responded beautifully to some porting work, headers and a cam.

Follow Ups:
had a ride in a 340 and it was a MONSTER in disguise. I have no idea what the owner had done, but it was a real 'pin you in the seat' kind of ride.
My point in all this is that PISTON AREA tends to govern. More cylinders adding to the same displacement as fewer / larger cylinders has MORE HP POTENTIAL at any given state of development.
My S-2000 of 2hp per cubic inch? AND a stroker? Did so at 9000rpm.....
Too much is never enough
I've never owned a Dodge except for 3 minivans. But I had a buddy who had a Duster with a nicely built 340, that motor was nice. It was definitely the Mopar small block motor to be had to my recollection.
out on the SD family farm: lots of torque, decent acceleration, dependable starter in MN winter.
