are you aware what "jeep" stands for?
just everyone elses parts.
AMC used parts from all manufactures, ford, gm chry,
so depending the year, etc..
AMC always used their own V8 in wagoneer's, J10's
290, 304,343, 360, 390,401 all the same platform, some interchangeabi lity .
390 was the HP engine, but limited production,
401 can be found, and is a bolt in, with no mods,
the 727 trans (in there now) will have a AMC bellhousing, so will only fit AMC.
for a carb,I'd suggest edelbrock 600/650 cfm, the metering rods can be tuned for
exceptional mileage, (for a jeep) ( have never seen better than 15mpg)
anything bigger will slow the intake velocity, and the carb will not atomize as well,
I doubt you will ever exceed 5000 rpm, so no need for big carb, big cam, etc.
if you change heads, 1974 and later have hardened seats ( must have nowdays)

took em to a aluminum polishing shop, $500 later,
polisher complained about how difficult they were to do.
dismounted of course,
yes, they sand them smooth first,
I like them ,as very few are like them,
next brain fart is polished 18in GNX rims , (all polished, no black)

that 360 is an AMC ,not a mopar!
and should have T400 trans, (amc bolt pattern on the bellhousing)
best upgrade would be a amc 401, 100 % bolt in,
the 360 are reliable as heck, for torque, I suggest alum intake, and free flowing exhaust,
the heads have 30 degree seats, and lend themselves to good 3 or5 angle valve job.
big improvement there, also, any cleaning of the ports will help alot,
a cam will help, but keep it under 218 @50 duration, and possibly 2 to 4 degrees advanced,
my J10 quadratrac would smoke all 4 tires from a standstill, (360)

hey you little turd, (Robert) you staying dry?
good to see your still alive, and remember the dicks, LOL
its been close to 1 full yr, since I went to the "dick" site.
castle has been on the bad boys list as long as I can remember,
so he is still maintaining his reputation.
you on the other hand, have been slipping , you need to step up your game
to uphold that "tough guy" image.
take care my friend, hope all is well with you!

it also depends on where you have the gain, or amount setting , on the controller,
mine makes little difference in rpm when I test it,
never checked the 02, thanks for the tip!

car is all orig, factory antenna wire,
does factory radio use std antenna wire? plug in type,
seriously thinking of up grading radio, but want OEM look,
and thats not possible,
found an older, new in box, pioneer 1.5 din,
but like to have bluetooth,
any suggestions on nice looking stereo, (cheap)
not into 1000W and 12in bass, speakers, seldom turn the radio above talk
volume.

I replaced the old non working antenna, with a std, fixed mast , with std coaxial connector,
obviously it does not connect to existing antenna wire.
so my question is, just purchase an extention antenna wire? from new antenna wire to radio?
orig radio still in the car, and speakers too! ( hey they work)

now days, "barrier hose" is the hose to use, it has an additional layer of nylon (or some such material)
to better seal the freon,
it available at most parts houses,
or ColdHose.com

not sure if they are similar or?
I just installed a set of TA hyd rollers, and found they have about .070 internal travel,
way more than I thought, and in order to get them quiet, I had to add close to 1/2 turn ,
I'm guessing .020-.030 ? oil pressure is super, 60+ cold, and 40+ hot.
if I wanted more rpm, I'd have used solid rollers,
these were supposed to be Morel lifters,
I wanted quiet vs hi rpm. beside my cam is all done a 5600 , ( nothing like putting a 7000 rpm lifter on a 5000 rpm cam)

two of my friends have them, one white, one gray.
they love em! but at 4200+ lbs, it NEEDS that much HP to be fast,
they both said not a poor mans toy, as tags (in Kalif) and ins are ballistic!
( owners are Neil Stewart, and Lou Czarnota) ( yes, THAT Lou!)
