TR-5 Tunnel Ram

340 8bbl my motor will be around the same as yours but with some more compression and a higher stall. What do you have done to your J heads? I have a set of 360 J heads and im putting 2.02 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves in them. Forgot which cam im installing in it have it saved at my computer at home (out of town for work) but i believe its around .556 lift (belive sweet spot is 3400-6800ish) which is pretty much the same sweet spot as the TR-5 (3500-7000+ is what edelbrock told me when i called) So that should be a pretty good match correct?

other than a valve job and good valve springs not much has been done,just some milling.as for linkage im running a lokar throttle cable and KD cable.my carbs are mounted in line and work 1:1.(not progressive).my cam is a much milder than what your running .it pulls hard from 2500 to 6000.its also ground on a 114 lsa helps idle quality as well as off idle transfer .i ran a more radical grind before on a 108.it hit like a sledge hammer in the mid range ,but my current set up is more street friendly with more of a "stump puller" torque curve.my point is it will run well with a smaller cam should you want a little more low rpm power.
