Care to speculate my 340?

Both those cams (xe268, xe275hl) in a 340 with stock 2.02 heads will make power to 5500-5600+ range running headers.

As much as people like those 68-70hp exhaust manifolds, they are not good for making power on set ups like this.

I totally agree... I'm am seriously considering headers since I have the front end out of the Car.

With the extra height DO you know if the RPM or Air gap intakes would clear the hood?
