I'm not trying to change your mind think whatever you want. I just don't agree.
How's a 360 with modded 318 heads, and a cam about the stock size as a 340 cam with a terrible intake anything like the OP's engine? And it even made 305 hp.
Let's put a mild 8.2:1 360 on the dyno.
I think the 340 build up I showed is a little more in line with the OP's engine.
