Putting a Solid cam in a Hydraulic Block??

People tune in and then tune out, lol

I have a solid cam waiting to be put in my 340, just been going on trips and blowing my extra cash.

It have to run better -higher and the 340 is built to rev. If it wasn't for the extra CI the strokers give, the short stroke engines would win since they can rev higher and pump out more air, burn more fuel = more HP

Adjusting the valves is a hassle but I'm sure after a bit it gets retinue and a one hour job. Cast valve covers hold the gaskets better and you can just reuse them - hi tack the gasket to the cover and not the head.

Another plus on the older heads vs magnum, only 5 bolts holding the cover down.

When the LA was first engineered it came with a solid cam, very mild but gee today we are told hyd is better for mild cams but then why did the 273 come with a solid cam ?
