340 Build Final Combo. What Do You Think?
So after sleepless nights and pacing at work I have finally decided on my 340 combo. I’ve looked at almost every camshaft available off the shelf, made some calls for a custom grind but finally decided to go to my special place (my bench covered in cams) I decided on this obscure voodoo cam deciding to save the 250 and put it elsewhere. (pictures for specs) here is the combo.
Short block came from a parts car-
Speed pro heavy .030 flat top. .020 out.
Stock rods with aftermarket bolts.
Forged stock stroke crank. Windage tray and fab pan.
10.1:1 static
8.1 dynamic
Top End-
J heads 2.08 valves some mild porting (see my earlier post in the week for port pics)
Air gap or tunnel ram haven’t decided.
Holley 750 double pumper (not for tunnel ram)
Exhaust- 1 3/4 long tubes into 3in X-pipe dumped at axles.
Accessories- alternator and water pump
(Electric fans)
Extra info (chassis)-
Car is 2900# without driver.
4 speed (2.66 first)
4.10 8.75
Aluminum flywheel
Aluminum DS
McLeod clutch( yes I know)
Let me know what you think. I’m ready to get flamed.
