I read on another website that the 340 motor became optional in 72' but it never mentioned a 340 being an option in 71'.

I think it would have still had it's original paint if it weren't for a past clueless owner in the past 10 years.

I thought the 340 only became available in 72', but now I know otherwise. Any chance you know what the specs are on the camshaft used in the high performance 383 that year?
