Bulltear forged pistons. Call and tell him what your working with and he can help you out.

My build isn't propane so that changes things but my guess would be the following
High compression...

Well from what everyone says compression will net you torque. Thats why I recommended pistons or high comp heads. If you want to reuse your rotating assembly you can bump it up with the 291 casting...

The timing cover isn't cheap. And you DO NOT want to go with a cheap one because they will cause a lot of problems if you dont get an OEM or Bulltear cover.
Id recommend this recipe for torque

Thanks Newt.

I appreciate you taking the time to crunch numbers for me!

I hope that kind of torque can keep my wife stuck to her seat when I'm hitting the on-ramps.

Although my gears and...

Finally got a break in the weather.

Heres an article that might help out.


Thanks for the NOS info.

Spike.

Just curious, how much spray were you hitting it with?
Forgive me for hijacking but I've been wondering if its feasible for me to use 50-100 shot in cast pistons or not. Just a little...

It's going to be pushing an 85 Wagoneer.
Rebuilt TF727 with an NP208 transfer case

I'll be using it as a DD, hard acceleration on the street, and occasional trail rides. Nothing too serious...

Well not that a super charger wouldn't be awesome, but.... wouldn't it be cheaper and equally effective to spray it? You'll have aluminum heads to dissipate heat, the ignition timing, and a forged...

Here I am again. Talking about the same swap I wanted to finish months ago.
The snow is thawing here in Colorado Springs and my Texas hands are finally getting to where they can hold a wrench...

I am by no means an expert here. But isn't 9.5:1 a bit much for forced induction? Even with forged materials it might limit your boost levels. Unless you retard the cam. I don't know. Just my .02

I am raising funds for a long term missions trip in Asia and it looks like I might have to sell my baby to answer the call.

I have completely replaced the whole drive train. I was in the process...

I ordered the Crower cam

I havent done the swap yet but I did remove the ring.

I have driven it with the current adjustment for about 1,000 miles.

I made sure it wasnt shifting too soon but I couldnt find the medium...

I took my jeep out for a spin for a final cruise last night before I started my engine swap to put my 401 in place of the dying 360.
It pulled out of the parking lot fine but when I pulled up to a...

Thanks again! I hope there are not too many more details. I am doing this in a dorm room with basic tools. My shop is back in Texas. I hear that my alternator bolt might be different as well as the...

I got an AMC 401 recently and the engine was balanced with a Turbo 400 tranny flexplate. I got a new one to run with my TF727. Do I need to have it re-balanced with this new flexplate? Or since its...

Oh man that wouldnt be funny.

I actually learned a leason when I was breaking in a new cam in my recently deceased 360. I started it up and heard lifter clatter. I had no oil pressure. I primed...

Thank you guys for your help. Ill be placing my order in the next few days.

If you dont mind one more question, how much hp and torque can I expect with this set up?

I didnt build it so I dont know specifics. So I dont know what my dynamic compression would be. I wish I had a fellow Jeeper out here in Colorado springs with a brain to pick ( and a cherry picker...

So I guess that rules out the comp XE262 because it's exhaust lift is .500 . I guess I'll give the guys at crower a call and go with something with a managable lift and a lobe sep of 110. All of the...

Okay that is a little bit of a relief. And for all I know these are not stock springs I just cant identify them or the cam that was in already. When you say mismatched parts do you mean the cam and...

Well thank both of you for your help. I looked at the Crower site, the custom grinds are not much more than the EXTREME cam and lifter kits from Comp. Maybe I should go that route since I already...

Come on guys, I tried asking about this issue in Jeepforum and I didnt get much help. I have also been pouring over threads but nobody talks about the largest lift cam they have run with possibly...
