Im starting to build a 340 and wondering what heads and cam to select for a street engine. Looking for 350 horsepower with factory manifolds. Block is stock 69 compression (.030 over), like to use the performer intake, 750 cfm thermoquad carb, and electronic ignition I already have. Car is a 69 cuda, 3.55 rear-end with an 833OD 4-speed. Goal is to be a fun, reliable year-round driver. My thoughts are either EQ magnum heads (for higher compression, good stock flow, less oil leaks) or #308 swirl port heads? At this point I have only the short block, no heads. Would appreciate advice from anyone whos done similar 340 builds thanks!
