Stockish 340 upgrades, cam needed

I was gonna use the Fel Pro 8553 that r .053 compressed for .038 clearance but then that really isn’t quench.

Thats not quench?
Sure sounds like quench to me.

To be blunt though....... you’re not really going to be able to “take advantage” of those heads with a hyd cam on a 340 that will be run with 3.23’s.
Where those heads will start to shine on a 340 will be beyond the onset of valvetrain instability(valve float).

Just cam for how the car will be used, then iiwii.

That Howard’s cam GE posted is probably going to be as good as anything....... up to the point where the valvetrain gets unhappy.
