first dart/track trip

First off awesome R/T some people who race for years wish they could cut those. For the distributor I would contact Don at FBO he is on this board sometimes www.4secondsflat.com. He can curve dist. to your combo, and then once you get the 340 put in send it back with engine/car specs and have it recurved think he charges $25 for curving dist, and his entire ignition/dist system is plug and play. The cam since you plan to drop a 340 in someday might sound wierd. I would try a RV cam if you want to stay cheap, and not have to worry about raising comp. and doing alot of head work. That way you can save money for that 340. RV will give you good low end torque, but wont give you a whole lot on top which you wont need with a 318 anyway. When you call Don ask for some tips he has a 318 running low 11's. My recommendations would be that intake, 1 5/8" headers, FBO ignition, RV cam maybe sum-k3500 cost 85.00 summit cam grind is by Crane I believe, and I hope the carb is no bigger than a 650. Well good luck.
