basically a 340 cam and a question mark on the bottom end.

but to your point, should still be 145-ish across

i'm still thinking that getting the carb and timing dialed in might wake this sucker up. but given the rest of the chicanery i'd leave nothing to chance and verify everything. oh and the whole WOT test and trans kickdown needs handled.

i dunno, maybe he thinks it should put his eyeballs into the back of his head when the loud pedal goes down? it's only a 318 with a 340 cam and 3.70's so not like it's gonna yank the tires, but it should still be good for a pair of black stripes.

Yep unless that cam is in there straight up then it's going to be a dog with stock replacement Pistons. It'll take a ton of initial timing that way and it'll need it to be anything other than a wet fart off the line. But really I along with a body n the rest feel the same , timing n curve will help big time , regardless.
