I've used the old MP 340 cam 268/272 in a couple of small block motors and 
seems to work well.  I'm doing basically the same thing with my 65 Dart 
wagon, except the slant 6 is coming out and the 340 going in instead.  I'm 
using a stock 69 intake, stock heads, stock 65 exhaust manifolds and 
carb-wise, I'm going to use a 65 or so AFB so I can use the 65 chrome air 
cleaner.  The motor will be dressed like a 273/235 horse Commando Motor with 
the black crinkle valve covers and chrome air cleaner but should run a lot 
better.   It's getting upgraded to disc brakes and 8 & 3/4 rear end with a 
quiet dual exhaust.  The wagon is originally white and will stay that color 
for the grannymobile look
Don.
