340 Stroker cam Recommendations? - 03/31/11 08:05 PM
Ok the 340 is done for the challenger Now My brother is working on getting this other 340 built for his 72 charger,and Kinda looking for ideas for a cam etc, thinking solid roller? It will be a 416 with a eagle crank, eagle rods, J.E Pistons for a 10.1 comp with edelbrock heads, Probably just stock as their bought?, A Rpm Air gap Intake, or a single plane? 770 avenger? Headers,3:91 sure grip,auto with probably 10" 3500-3800 stall? Would still be steet driven, as well as taken to the local drag strip too. Welcome any and all Ideas!

Stock Edelbrock Springs aren't good for much. If you want to run a solid roller you'll need to upgrade springs, locks and retainers.
What are your goals? ET? Power?

I have a very similar setup to you using a 360/408. Out of the box edelbrock heads hyd flat tappet and 1.6 rockers. I went with a racer brown ssh-25 238/238 @ 0.50 and stock edelbrock springs. From what I can tell this brings ne right to the limit of the heads. I did have to do some clean up on the ports to smooth them out.
Sorry I can't comment on the roller.

Bringing this back up, Brother is wanting to order the heads etc, and now their thinking a solid flat cam instead of the roller, it will still use roller rockers tho... Any input on a cam for the 416? Thanks! I was thinking maybe the 557 mopar cam? Or the lunati 60442 cam?

I recommend our 251 cam: 251-260@ .050, .580-.560 lift with 1.6 rockers, on a 108lca. With an unported eddy head it should make around 460-470Hp with 10.2:1 compression, 750 holley DP, rpm intake with a 1" open spacer and TTI or similar header.
With porting it can make 520+HP!

For what it's worth.
I put my 416 together way before the craze was in full swing. My bud and I built ours with 308 swirl port heads (from a late '80s to early '90s wrecked trucks), worked/with 202/160's, porting/matching. A Mopar 508 cam, hydralic lifters, 1.6 roller rockers, Mopar M1 intake, Quick Fuel 950 carb. .30 over bore, 4.0 crank, 9.75 compression. Cars run low 11's to 10.80's all day long.
Good luck.

The engine builder suggested this cam, Comp Cams 20-616-5 Camshaft
I don't really think a oval racing cam is the way to go.. what do u guys think?

Thanks Chris!
3500 to 6500 RPM....Solid cam
adv 272 280, @ .050 242 250, .540 .556, 106° LSA 106 ICL
.. I think his builder was thinking of a roller in the 240 range and 550 lift? Yea I would imagine his builder would know to change those Things out on the heads. Seems like a pretty stout solid for a stroker? I am A Pontiac man so I don't know much about Mopars as far as that stuff anyway.
