There are a lot of threads on the subject of camshafts and compression ratios, but I haven't quite found one that shows comprehensive approaches to this question:
From a standard bore 1968 340 block, what are the cam, piston et-cetera selections to get an engine that runs great on California's 91 octane fuel and is as close to original 1968 4-speed as possible? This is for a 68 Barracuda 340 Formula S convertible. I'm trying to keep the restoration as close to original as possible. So, I'm starting with a 68 block and X heads, standard crank and connecting rods. I need pistons and camshaft. I'm interested in what your recommendations are, so please share.
