268 XE would be very lazy in a big car like that until about 40 or 50 mph.
how about the generic 204 / 214, .429 / .444....good lo end torque.
that should break the tires loose and pull good beyond the speed limits


The 268 would be lazy if the stock converter is retained and the rear gear was numerically low.
The cam you posted specs to looks like a actual OE 340 cam. Is this correct?

Scott, I hate to badger, but we need some more info/help on this build.
What is the rear gear & tire size?
Is a converter change an option? Unless it is a manual trans?
Is the engine going into a full rebuild?

Other than the above recomendation I made about the Comp Cam for exhaust manifolds, I normaly run a split duration cam with unported heads with headers or not, with 8*'s more exhaust. Thus helping with the corked breathing.

Iron headed engines with small cams work very well with a 9.0-1 ratio. (In case this is a full on rebuild.)

...stock 340 lift with much less duration,ideal for a heavy vehicle ..nearly every manufacturer sells a similar grind

Had a HP 360 in a 74 RR with a 4-speed. Same basic cam as a 340. Was plenty fast. With the 73 Charger I'd put 1.6:1 rockers on the list. Shave the heads to get as much compression as possible. Pocket port, gasket match. Put a strip kit in that TQ. IF budget allows put more converter & lower gears.


When it takes more than a sweet mullet to prove you rule at the trailer park..
