Our very helpful and generous member Pishta sent me a 1968 340 cam, and I have brand new MP lifters and a double roller set sitting right here.
I got it torn down today, (obvious with the cam on the ground) and was pleasantly surprised.
The cam bearings all look real nice, and it has cross hatching in the cylinders and zero ridges with 030 on the pistons.
With the cam bearings looking like they do and about .010 crankshaft end play I think it will be fine to rinse out and reassemble.
The head gaskets even looked in real good shape with no indication of corrosion or leaks of any kind.
The pistons have valve reliefs and a tapered outer edge so I don't think they are OEM, but they are still down in the bores by about 60.
Timing chain was just a bit loose though and has a few little chunks missing out of the edges of the plastic coated teeth, but I have seen way worse.
Rinsing the block and pan should get that out and I'll be putting that double roller set in it when it goes back together.
There was a $1,000 rebuild receipt in the glovebox for the transmission and the engine and trans have all new mounts with new ujoints in the driveline
The entire ignition system was also replaced right before we bought it (everything) but the distributor housing. :D
It has brand new plugs and yellow Accell wires also.
Also it's a power disc car so it should be a nice little daily runner for Stephanie, and I think she got a pretty good deal on the car.
(well, not having to pay labor helps, right) :D
