I don't think you are. Theres 3 if's in your last post and I have no real info on your car, trans, rear size and gear ratio along with the performance goals an expections.

Whats a good cam for a 318 or a 340. I can name about 40 right now but would it suite your purpose?

You can not use a 318 block to build a 340.

Nothing wrong with Rhoads lifters. But WHY are you useing them? Yoiu have not a running engine set up with the parts or cam to see if it is what you want out of the combo. If the cam is to larger to start with, then the Band-Aid Rhoads lifters are not going to deliver what you want. The proper cam will!

Factory service manuals can be found at the local MoPar dealer, AKA Dodge or Chrysler dealer. On the net, go to Manciniracing .com or other book stores. Heck, did you look above on this page for adveretisments?

Also get how to rebuild my small block mopar and hot to hotrod my small block mopar. Once you have read all 4 books, you'll be in much better shape to start your project instead of asking a million questions that you should all ready know the answer to.

The only stupid question is the un-asked one. The ones you have asked have been posted here many times. Do some...lots of research. Look around, get the books.

Trust me, you thank me later.
