Camming an AMC V8
I don't know much about cams, so I'm looking for you're help on camming my
CJ. I mostly drive it on the street, but I want it to be quite off-road
capable as well. It's got an '82 Wagoneer 360 in it with a K&N filter,
Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, MSD ignition with a
Blaster II coil, headers, 2.5" duals with Dynomax SuperTurbos and
SuperConverters, NV4500, 31" tars, and 3.31 rear end. I'd mostly like lower
end torque out of it. What works well for you guys?
Thanks,
Pete

Re: Camming an AMC V8
I wouldn't do anything to your stock 360" until I changed gear
ratios. Want to off-road? 5.38s! Usually the people selling the cam will
give you exactly what you need, if you ask like here:
http://www.iskycams.com/ http://www.cranecams.com/
http://www.crower.com/ YOu may get uncontrollable laughter when you
mention 3.31. Although, Mike Romain, here somehow wound up with
Kalifornia SMOG gears.

Re: Camming an AMC V8
Hi Bill,
Yeah I figured on the laughter, but that's what it's got right now, and I do
plan on remedying that situation. I store it in winter, and when I get it
out in spring, I usually do one major thing each year. I bought it new in
'84 and it's mostly seen mud and some hills around here so I've gotten away
with the 3.31s. I'll try those places.
Thanks for the help

I got a cam from this maddog racing ebay store that's not too bad for
about $40(new). It's in a '86 wagoneer with a 360. 280/289 duration and
..450/.474 lift. Had enough oomph to destroy a 747 tranny.
