Re: 4.0 my YJ / Waggy
The Waggy is actually a 360 - I was assuming I need ~ 650 CFM ?

That would be a good choice. AMC used 730 CFM vacuum secondary

Re: 4.0 my YJ
Folks can swap the 4.0 head onto the 4.2 to give it better valve flow so
the intake from a 4.2 with it's stock Weber-Carter carb should fit right
on.
You might need to put a fuel regulator on if you have the electric pump
for either the stock carb or the other Weber 36/38 folks use.
That stock carb is a great runner when tuned up and it will beat the
crap out of the FI for gas mileage. I just did two 200 mile runs fully
loaded at 75 plus mph (120+ kph) and still got over 20 US mpg. I can
get higher if I go easy on the go pedal. ;-)
