So when are you firing up that 401? Do you have the Edelbrock MPFI setup in it?

Thanks Dusty for the heads up. I am trying to make up my mind about the choice of cam for my 360.... Since I don't have much knowledge on the subject I am trying to get the most info and learn a bit.Originally Posted by Dusty

Keep in mind that a given cam will act larger in a 360 than it does a 401 due to the difference in valve to displacement ratio and piston dwell time. For example, due to the longer stroke of the 401 it takes more crank degrees of rotation to get the piston moving up off of BDC than it does in a 360, so a 401 can stand to have the intake valve close a little later and still make similar cylinder pressure (assuming static CR is the same). Both engines also use the same intake valve size (if stock anyway), so a 360 will fill cylinders quicker and does not therefore need quite the same overlap to get the job done as the 401. But now we are getting to deep in all of this.Originally Posted by pablorg

That makes sense. As a side note, I wonder if the difference in weight of your Wagoneer and my CJ-7 would make up for the difference from a 401 and a 360... If so I can guess my outcome when you try the cam in your Waggy this summerOriginally Posted by 82Waggy
