1974 Jeep Cherokee (AMC 6.6liter V8)

This is my toy, seen here breaking in the new suspension springs and testing the new camshaft...not doing anything crazy yet. As you can see it was hard to adjust to all that brutal low-end torque. It's making well over 400ft-lbs, who knows how much at low revs. I never got over 1200rpm and didn't need to! And yes, I was romping the pedal for effect. Since this vid was taken I have added an Aussie Locker.

wod mods did you do to the engine? wot hp you got? I cant believe the torque! you mite aswell disconnect the throttle cable and go everywhere at idle. Top job!

Thanks so much, it took a lot of work to go through everything! It's not making much hp because I built it for low-end torque, probably around 280hp. It now has fuel injection so it should have a little more hp and torque. You can find more info on the website in my profile.

I am curious about the exhaust set up... what kind of muffler and any info on diameter at manifolds

[plasticboob]

The muffler is a Flowmaster 40 original series, witha single 3" pipe. I don't know the exact diameter of the exhaust manifolds off-hand, sorry.

I'm lookin at a 1983 Cherokee V8, and I was wondering, do the cherokees have stereo systems? I've seen a couple of pics of the interior of SJ's and I couldnt find a radio.... this would probably be my daily driver/toy and i would need some music to listen to, even if it doesnt have one, it would be a hell of a job putting in a system lol also how do you like your cherokee?

Ahh! I found this video looking up the engine in a 1980 firebird I'm looking at.

I basically got a good estimate of the kind of mileage I'll be getting! Thanks.
