340 cam for 318

I think with a 318 I would:

do a 340 crank rods and some sort of zero deck or positive deck piston with X or J heads.

However isn't there something where you cant open that 2.02 valve up too much or it scrapes the 318 bore?

Other than that zero deck pistons with aftermarket closed chamber heads. I would get into blueprinting by having the deck resurfaced to obtain zero deck etc.

But what's the cost? I dunno...I think the cams on these engines well, the LA engine generally likes under .500 lift from what I recall.

I may be wrong (Im sure I am) just what I recall etc. :lol:

If you’ll go halves;). That’s not going to be in the budget. I’ll have the shop take the block to 9.58 and square, been reading through the head porting thread, pretty similar to SBC heads, a few more things to remove, but easy enough and is basically no cost.
I wont take it as far as to where I thing the fella took it though.
