Hi,
My name is Danny and I'm from Australia. I have a 74 CJ6 that I'll be starting a ground up build on soon. The plans are for a rig that will see plenty of highway, sand dunes and some rock crawling. I have a pair of J20 diffs and T18.
It currently has a 67 high compression 4 barrel 290 in it.
I would like some engine advice, I really want a 401, problem is there's none in this country. How hard is it to come by a 401 over there?
What would I expect to pay for one?
It may be a better to get it built over there, I havent found any AMC guru's over here yet...
I would like the motor to make power to 6000rpms, the biggest cam I can get away with but still be able to idle ok, it will have some very low gearing so should be able to get a decent sized cam?
Any advice or opinions are much appreciated so tell me what you think!!!
Cheers Danny
