Heads and cam swap

[email protected]/.520 lift will show a nice gain. I can't guarantee it'll make 360 hp, but it should be quite a powerful total street engine.

Your head selection will unleash the power potential very well with that cam.

A shame you can't squeeze headers in there. So to thtat end, make note of the exhaust manifolds casting numbers and check against the best one available. There outlet is IIRC, 2-1/4 inch. IMO, getting a dual 2-1/2 exhaust pipe exhaust bolted up to those manifolds would be very good for power output.


Rumblefish, thank you for replying. You are one of the ones I hoped would answer.
Its my understanding that the 92-93 have the bigger manifolds. Funny thing cant find those new anywhere, but the smaller ones, everybody has. So I do need to be looking used for a decent set.
Another option that I considered was a set of stainless shorty headers, cut the flange off, and then use a band clamp to connect exhaust. The two questions would be, 1. is the collector at least 2.5 in.? and would there be room to make the down pipe fit.?
The exhaust basically has to cross over to the pass. side to go out....
Between the starter, torsion bar, front driveshaft, and transfer case, not much space left on the drivers side.
But again, thank you for your opinion!!
