340 General Rebuild Info- Cam Recommendations

New lifters have been a deal, most are reman and prone to fail from what I hear. Some guys are cleaning up the old lifters checking the crown and reusing them instead. 340 is a good engine easy hp I think, due to the larger bore and shorter stroke. Depending on how extensive of a build you want to do. A lot of opinions here, and a lot of good information. What heads are on the 340? You can look by the spark plugs next to the head bolt you should find a letter. Most likely an x or a j. The x heads will have 2.02 intake valves and the j heads could have those or the smaller 1.88 valves both sets of heads are good to .500 lift with factory set up. To much of a cam will require be valve springs of course. A lot of the guys don’t like comp cams, I think there a pretty good cam. And a good value. The 268 cam is slightly over the stock cam, and the 280 is a really nice street cam that you can run with the factory valve train. The 110 separation I think keeps a little more vacuum at lower rpms. Wich I think would work well o. The 4 speed. The factory carbs are pretty good flowing up ware of 700 already. A set of headers would definitely help. Just my opinion on a quick easy rebuild for street use. You bring a ford guy could probly compare the 340 to the 351w for reference as far as cam and intake combination. He ope that helps you scratch the surface
