Torque/HP curve for '79 360
 

Does anyone have a link or the specs for a '79 Jeep 360, from a J20? I need
to know the RPM at peak torque, peak torque, RPM at peak HP & peak HP. I am
trying to select a torque converter for my junk.
I am not sure of how to adjust the curve for a Holley ProJection, I might
just keep my selection conservative.

TIA

Hi James,
You're going to be disappointed big time. That engine is detuned
from over three hundred horse power to just a hundred and forty at 3300
RPM, via SMOG mandated low compression, retarded low duration cam:

Bill,
I use my Waggy primarily for towing (no offroad), so the 280-300 lb/ft @
1500 rpm is great, but I'd like to get it to around 230-250hp. I'd planned
on an Edelbrock performer cam and carb with DUI ignition ; how close to my
target will that take me do you think ? I note that Edelbrock have now
brought out higher compression cylinder heads, but sadly I have other ( =
house ) priorities for my readies right now..
