Combination for a peppy 340

Looks nice! Will your lifters come out with the heads on? I have the same lifters in a 273 and they will come out with the heads on. Some have reported that the Morels won't come out with aftermarket heads. No biggie either way, but try it if you don't have the intake on yet and you'll know if you ever decide to swap cams.

I don’t think I can with the Edelbrock heads but I’m sure something could be “engineered” to keep the lifters up so the cam can be pulled. I think the springs on these heads support .575 lift. So I can’t go a ton larger. Not to say they can’t be changed too.. this will be a fun hot rod and I can’t see wanting to go more.. but I’m sure we’ve all said that before lol

It’ll be a fun combo for sure

Most guys tend to over cam an engine, and as many others have already stated neither of those cams will be that much fun on the street with a 3.55 gear.

Also, you may or may not know, but the way a roller cam works it probably has the same effect as a hydraulic cam that's got 10 degrees more duration.

If you want a nice street grind, find a hydraulic roller that has 228/234 at .050"
