340 cam in a 318

I just might do this: I can pull the dual quads off my 318, and bolt on an original 2bbl and intake. The cam in it is a little hotter than a 340 cam, and the car does not have headers and still has the original torque converter and now 2.94 gears. Perhaps I can take it to the strip and see how much slower it runs than an original 318 2bbl Duster??? LOL

I'm pretty sure I'll do this... ^^ and I'm pretty sure the car will go faster than any factory stock 318 2bbl Duster. I firmly believe if you are going to install a 340 cam in a 318, a 4bbl and dual exhaust should by all means be part of the plan. But I'm confident that it would outperform the stock 318 cam if it was left as a 2bbl.
