This sounds like a silly question even to me.
I've got a 401. It needs head gaskets and possibly rings.
What I want out of the Jeep is lots of low and mid range grunt.
I live at 2500 feet, occasionally drive up to 7500, and it's steep on the way up. I want the Wagoneer to be able to haul the mail in any gear.
I've read a handful of AMC build articles but they all seem to involve custom pistons, ported heads, and 500+ horsepower.
I'd be totally happy with 300 horsepower if I could have 350-400 ft-lbs under 3500 RPM. Broad, flat, and high torque curve. That's what I'm after.
So... how do I get from here to there?
