Magnum heads are good. aside from differences in the lifter valley for the roller cams, and the heads themselves, there's not much different.
no experience with a 340, but my 4000 lb Dakota with a 318 magnum with a cam, intake, and exhaust, NV3500, and 3.92 gears on 28" tires, ran the 1/4 mile in 14.7 @ 97 mph the cam specs were 220/230 with a 114 LSA, and it would pull hard through 6,000 rpm.
in a much smaller, lighter car, I bet it would have done low 14s, if not break into the 13s.
I dont know much about the stock roller cams, is that a small cam? mild? mid-range? What kind ov intake and exhaust? Thats not moving bad for a 2-ton brick...
Sounds to me like a slightly warmed-over (bolt-ons) 318 Magnum would move my 3000-3100lb car pretty good. Basically, if its as fast as my bone stock 3500lb A66 Challenger was with just exhaust, intake and deleting accessories i'll be happy. Because i could have just tuned that A66 car to go MUCH faster knowing what i know now...
IIRC the stock 360 magnum roller cam is approx -250adv/~190@.050 and .41" valve lift. the 318 magnum roller cam is ~240adv/~180@.050 and .430" valve lift.
either can be reground by bulletcams.com for a reasonable amount. use the HR259/316 lobe for intake and exhaust, and hughes #1110 springs (looking at ~$250 total for cam regrind and springs) which will get you in the 320-340 honest HP with headers and an RPM intake....
