- 1980 CJ7, 6-258, T176, D300, D30, AMC60, all original
New DD: 2016 Rubicon Hard Rock, BDS 2" lift, Toyo tires
Restoring my 1980 CJ7 and want to upgrade the left side of the engine a bit. Original 258 overhauled by a professional shop and cam upgraded to a Comp Cam X4250H. After surveying as many threads as I think I can absorb, here's the setup I'm considering and would appreciate constructive feedback on the combination including pros, cons, better solutions. Don't want to use original iron manifolds and curb appeal also plays into the performance goal.
CJ will be a football tailgate toy to pass on to kids/grandkids and be driven mostly on the street. Thanks in advance for the help, and here's a picture of current condition just to whet your appetite. See my signature for the rebuild thread. Be safe out there and thanks again.
Holley 4160, 390 CFM, 4bbl, electric choke, vacuum secondary (Summit Racing)
Offenhauser 5999DP, dual plane, 4bbl (Summit Racing)
Hedman Headers 99606, High Temp Coating, dual outlets
