Replacement 68 340 four speed cams

Hello, by a stroke of luck and timing, I purchased an early removal 68 340 four speed cam from a retired Chrysler engineer who owned the cam since late 68/early 69. I also was able to get the original blueprint. I happen to be friends with the owner of Racer Brown Cams and we talked about making a run of these. We checked the cam on the cam doctor and it has been confirmed 100% authentic and almost all of the lobes have zero wear. I'm just curious about how many of you would legitimately say you would like one and follow through with payment. I will front the cost of making the masters so no up front cost to the buyers. Overall, the final cost for the cam (without lifters) would be $245 plus shipping. If you are interested and would be committed to buying, please reply below and add your name to the list. Thanks for your interest.

For those of you that want to run a factory 68 340 4-speed cam...

I worked with another member here and we sent one of my cams that was custom ground to be a clone of the 68 340 4-speed cam to Ken Heard at Oregon Cams and they measured it so they can duplicate it and now have it available for sale.

Here are the Oregon Cam specs/details:

#2120

221/227 @ .050”, 276/286 adv, .438”/.456” lift, 114 sep


Per the 68 Plymouth service manual, the factory specs are:

276/284 dur, .444"/.453" lift

Int op = 26° BTC
Int cl = 70° ABC
Exh op = 78° BBC
Exh cl = 26° ATC

From calculations:

Intake centerline = 112° ATC
Exhaust centerline = 116 BTC
Lobe separation = 114°



This is the grind we have been using that is supposed to be the cam you are inquiring about. We made this master from a cam that a customer supplied us that was supposed to be the factory Mopar cam. We have made quite a lot of them. We can do a regrind for $79 on your core or make a new one for $179.

Thanks
