Re: Off topic engine question
I just found a orgional Jeep AMC 401 motor. These are probably the most sought after Jeep motors becuase they have the exact same block as the 304, 390, and 360. It will also bolt right in. stock it makes 215hp/320lb/ft. They guy wants $400, and I could go around and sell it for $800 if I wanted too, but that caddy engine sounds really nice. What did the caddy 500 come from, and what is a good car to look for that they came in? Is it possible to swap a fuel injection on it? with that much torque, I would also need to change axles.. well basically my whole drivetrain. Does anyone know how much the Caddy 500 weighs? Torque and power is mostly used for the sand dunes, and mud pits. A 4 banger does a good job on the rocks, but it would be nice to be able to do wheelies with that much power. Also, I would like to avoid any Chevy 350 newer than the L98. This jeep will go through numerous water crossings, and I'd like to stay away from the optispark in the LT1. Once again thanks a lot for the help.
