Stockish 340 upgrades, cam needed

Even though it's probably complete overkill for the customer in this instance, I still really like the idea of the 3.65 inch crank that was for sale that I mentioned when this build started in another direction on the first thread, especially with the 3.23 gears and the weight of car. Just an example of what could be done with parts selection and a 3.65 inch crank: Icon 1742-080 forged pistons would come .023 over deck with a 9.60 deck height and have a 9.6 cc dish. An SCE 569096 Pro Seal .060 thick head gasket with a compressed volume of 12.917 cc's. and yields a .037 piston to head clearance for quench. Assemble as is for a 10.5:1 compression ratio, or get the the valve reliefs fly cut enough to add 4 cc's and get 10:1 compression. Either way, with 382 inches, the .525/.531(.560/.566 with 1.6)-273/277-226/230-110 LSA is looking good at this point. The "big deal" for this engine (but probably with a 3.55 or 3.73 gear) would be a Howard's 710862-08 solid lifter cam. .558 I/E ([email protected]), 266 advertised, [email protected]. And it would be at the point where an 800-DP or larger would be mandatory and an air gap would be beneficial. You'd probably regret if the wife weren't wearing Depends before she drove it...
