Pretty much agree. I can STILL remember how the old V code 440-6 ran, and how, later, that stock 71 340 ran in the same car. And, I've mentioned on here many times a "340 like cam" because even though there are updated / better / more modern grinds, it is STILL hard to beat the old factory 340 cams. Lots of torque and good street manners, a pleasing idle chop, excellent mid range and cruise, and a "fun" top end. AND ALL WHILE getting decent mileage. Bear in mind ALL 340s were SMOG engines. That's right!!! The first 340 came out in 68, and YES!!! it had CA and Federal engine emissions controls.
