Check out driveajeep.com for info on the TFI upgrade. The guy that runs the site is real helpful. He sells a TFI kit for about $125. I bought one from him and am happy with it. I'd do this upgrade first if I were you.

Mikey, I replied on your previous post withh a how-to on the delbrock upgrade, with prices. As far as where to get them, the intake and carb can be bought through summit ( www.summitracing.com (http://www.summitracing.com) ) as well as some local auto parts stores, such as Kragen.

MSD ignition box, roller rockers, cam. Those are all pretty much bolt on...except the roller rockers. You will have to drill the studs out bigger.

For the primo TFI stuff, use all MSD parts. MSD Pro-Billet distributers are cool. They also have a good cap that is pretty large, kinda like the Ford 460 cap that the TFI upgrade calls for.

Headers, high flow cat(if you still have one), and good muffler(flowmaster).

You can polish and port the intake and heads, but this is for high rpm performance. This should only be considered after all the above has been done.

There are also some oiling system improvments that can be done. If you have the engine pulled, I would suggest deburring all of the oil and water passage ways. It will improve flow by not creating swirls and restriction.

I also have in Adobe Acrobat format(*.pdf) and oiling upgrade, that can be done for fairly cheap, that will improve the oiling of the distributer gear. And we all know that this is a weak design element of the AMC V8 family of engines. Let me know if you want it.
