340 the hard way; Stroked 318

Im not too much of a cam expert. but you do know you cannot use replacement 318 pistons, you'll need to find some stroker 318 pistons to work with that crank. low 13s for a 3.55 geared 3,800lbs is asking a lot out of a 318. Anything can be done if you put enough money into it, i'd look into edelbrock heads, a GOOD torque converter, and whatever cam comes recommended from the crowd. just my 2cents


It is going to be a 342, not a 318 with a longer stroke for more torque down low and thru out the power band.

I realize I am going to need different pistons with a different compression height. The new stroker crank is going to put the piston 0.100 further up the bore...

I am interested in compliments to the existing components from those who are familiar with camshaft theory and this fairly unique stroke for a 318. Specifically, piston C.P. and compression ratio along with Hypers or Forged.
Camshaft specs with what LSA and duration for the Magnum heads and new stroke.

I guess.. just what other parts would you add to get this 342... moving....?
