I am building an AMC 360 for use in a 1980-1986 CJ-7. I am looking for high low-end torque, since I have no need for high-end speed/power in this application.
I have a 1970 or 1971 AMC 360 (old-style flat crankshaft flange, and 3-bolt balancer w/ 3-bolt pulleys), and a set of 58cc heads (casting number 3233344).
I welcome comments on the following parts and suggestions for alternative selections:
(1). Bulltear 9.5:1 forged pistons
(2). Engle #5054H cam
(3). Edelbrock Performer Intake (no EGR valve)
(4). Considering a 650cmf carb with vacuum secondaries
Has anyone used the Engle #5054H cam in a 360? If so, how was low-end torque and idle quality?
Can anyone recommend an alternative low-end torque cam and tell me about your experience with performance and idle quality?
Thanks,
Richard
