68 Barracuda cam swap w/340

[stanmoparman]

Can a cam be changed out in a 340 while engine in 68 Barracuda? Looks close. Thanks for any advise.
Thanks for help. Have decided to use the Lunati 60402 cam, lifters and recommended springs.

you'll have to take part of the grill out along with the radiator n such.

I did the one in my 68 Dart by just removing the radiator. I don`t think it would be much different doing the swap in a Barracuda

maybe if he can angle it enough.

I did a .528 in my valiant and just pulled it off.

Yup, had to hold my mouth right.

Most likely. 70 Duster, The radiator frame bracket still in the way; Just loosen one mount, and swing the engine to the side.

I did a cam swap in my 67 Super Gas BB, but then the motor was set back 8 inches. I know apples to apples. Just being funny.

I pulled the cam out of my car once by just removing the radiator. Be very careful because you can easily chip the cam bearings then you will be pulling the engine out. That is what happened to me in 1980 when I pulled the cam out of my 340.
