Any particular reason? Just wondering. BJS has a point about a newer motor. Allthough I myself have lots of LA parts hanging around doing nothing, for now.
The note of a "Lil Red" motor is interesting. Keep in mind the E-58, 4bbl 360 engines are said to have the 340 cam as well as double roller timing chain & a windage tray. I have one on a stand, but have not gotten it apart yet. This would make a great start. What it really needs is just a head milling for a little compression. Though headers would help a bit in breathing.
I have noticed, only in a chiltons and such, that the 2bbl. engines listed @ 8.5-1 and 4bbl. engines @ 8.0-1. I really never opened one up and measured. Has anyone out there done so?

FWIW, all 340/360 heads have the same port size/shape and chamber design until the 308's arrived on the seen in the late 80's
