Stop in for a cup of coffee

I am still on the bubble on which engine to use in the wagon.

I have a 318 available, but this is not a regular 318, it's been bored with higher compression pistons. Hot cam, with lumpy idle.

When this engine was in a duster it ran low 14 high 13s, by me, so I know its mean.

Or

I have a stock low compression 73 340

I ruled out a 360 because the flywheels for external balance cost more than I care to pay now

What cam is in the 318???

I would run a 600 on that... I like the holley 80457 it's the 600 vacuum secondary version of the standard/generic 1850 holley, but comes with an electric choke and calibrated for a late 60's engine..... They are pretty good to go right out of the box... Just throw in the small yellow vacuum secondary spring and adjust the accelerator pump...

Here's one on Eddie's 340 that we built with one of Hoppy's recurved distributors....
