The 64-65 365 and 375 HP 327 engines were equipped with a 3849346, also referred to as a 30-30 cam. The lash setting was also .030-.030".
The same 346 cam was also used in all 67-69 Camaro Z28 engines.

Don't know about the trunk monkey camshaft on the 240 cam but the stamped code on the 240 engine was different than the 225 engine.
Through at least 1970, partial engines (short blocks) came with a camshaft installed in the block. At some point after that, the camshaft was deleted from the assembly in one or more blocks. I'm thinking service short blocks didn't have an assembly stamp code. Could be wrong. Getting old and memory is fading.

I used to have "245 HP" painted on the front fender of my '56 Bel Air. Not 240.
