340 cam in a 318

318willrun said

I would guess 600 in gear. No issues with the converter.

1. Now we can make the same list with EVERY engine:
2. Would of it been faster with a 3k stall and 3.91's? YES
3. Would of it been faster with 9.5 compression ???? YES
4. Would of it been faster with a 4" stroker kit ????? YES
5. But was it faster than the stock 318 cam >>>???? YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS !!!!! :D

That's good to know. Most every discussion about using a 340 cam (or a bigger one) is that it's soft on the bottom end and it idles roughat idle and you have a issue with a stock converter with too low of a stall. No reason to rip the u joints out every time you shift out of park into gear.
