Replacement 68 340 four speed cams
I for one can vouch for the 340s top end charge. My 73 340 Rally Charger with 78K on the clock hauled me and five friends out to the junkyard one Saturday in 1981. One of the guys in the back, Jeff Clark said "hay Rob, will it bury the 150 speedometer?" I said "I don't know, I ain't tried it yet." Then I firmly planted my foot on the floor and just held there. I had the needle pointing a little past straight down before I lifted. 150 was about at the 5 o'clock mark. The car was all original with the original 73 supposedly "lower" performance 340, stock manifolds and stock exhaust right down to the original mufflers and slotted exhaust tips. I routinely outran a school friend's 70 396/375 Chevelle. Pissed him off so bad every time he demanded a rematch. I remember only once when he got me and it was by a bumper. We all knew that car was faster and quicker than it "should" have been....and it was. It had to be all over 4000 pounds that Saturday with six of us in it. I think their curb weight is a tick under 4000. 3850 or some such? Here's the car. The guy I got it from got drunk in it not once, but twice. Hit a brick mailbox the first time and a brick wall the second time. His dad took the car from him and that's when I paid 300 bucks for the car. We found good fenders, bumper and grill for it in a local junkyard. That's why the fenders are brown. You can see the damage on the hood. That car would slap move for a big car.
