1968 340 Cam Choice (Again)
340 Cam Choice
I know there are better cam choices today. I’m not doing this until next spring. I’m staying hydraulic Car is a driver. Want a little more than stock. Something with a little lump but don’t want to over cam it.Hoping to keep springs that came with Eddy I was looking at these two, but I don’t have the knowledge like a lot of you guys and was looking for Input and maybe someone is running close to the same set up and knows a good selection. Car will be mostly for around town but will be taking highway trips as well.
