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

just sittin here knockin around some ideas for this 1968  340 i just
got.
  The plan is to slip it into my little 273 coronet to make  a kind of
  grandma sleeper. The car looks like a granny car with b3 blue, ,
  hubcaps,a bench seat and a column shift . I wanna keep it that way.
  But i thought slipping a 340 in there with a  sb 727 could be a good
  joke.
 yes , i know a 440 would maybe make more sense  in a coronet , but the
 car realy weighs about the same as my old  71 cuda that ripped and
 roared with a 340 , and i dont want to hack the car up in anyway
 either so its stayin smallblock.
  Any way long story short i am wondering about an intake setup for
  this 340. I want to keep the engine very streetable, so the cam will
  be pretty mild,MAYBE some headers, elec. ign.,etc.,  nothin tooo
  fancy.
  I have a carter afb 650 and a 750  but i was wondering about one of
  these new edelbrock AVS, or maybe a  small Thermoquad.
  The intake will be  a dual plane, maybe the performer, performwer RPM
  or maybe just the stock 340 cast iron .
 Anybody know about the AVS carbs, or thermoquads. Remember guys, I am
 not building a bracket car here, I am finally listening to  Earl Helm,
 my voice of reason. This is my putt-puttt car, my Polara is going to
 be the monster
