340 or 408?

Just for the heck of it I ran my sons horsepower numbers from his stock crank 360. Budget build that ran 6.54 four or five different times. .030 over 360, Molnar rods, stock crank, set of my Edelbrock heads I ported, Victor340 I quickly ported, 750 alcohol carb, 4:10 gears, 727 transmission with 5600 stall shifted at 6600 rpm and weights 3200 pounds at the line, caltracks with 20 inch radial. Ohhhh a used 100.00 Reed roller cam I bought used. (.625 lift)

We had a very very nice roller cam that we wanted to put in this engine that was given to my son by a friend. It was a .660 lift cam that could have taken better use of my heads. We didn’t have valve to piston clearance using the SRP flat top (250.00 pistons) so we used the 100.00 Reed cam. I about cried when this cam was damaged when a bar on a comp roller lifter broke letting the roller lifter turn sideways.
