With a 5-speed and sufficiently big exhaust in an a-body it will be tons of fun. Not necessary but if it was mine i'd put a cam in it too like the biggest one you can run on factory EFI.
Most cams for Jeep engines are not suitable for street use in my opinion (unless you go with a custom grind) as they are intended for offroad use. My first attempt at this will be bone stock. It will have a Grand Cherokee D44 rear end with 4.11s. Yes, I know all about the weakness in the ZJ D44. And I am going to use that to my advantage.
I am really getting pumped. I can not wait to start working on this.
