304 or turn up to a 360

Chief - I run split exhaust because my jeep came with an all but new duel exhaust with headers. My choice would have been to run stock manifolds and single exhaust. Gotta run what she brung with her though.

Mine came that way and I have since changed to custom 2 into 1. It was way too loud and I kept crushing the side pipes. Here is the 2:1.

Ahh, I see. You might be able to sell your exhaust system and actually make money since a more stock like system is relatively cheap. Must get a little warm in the summertime with those headers too, no?

Everything is hot here in the summertime, the jeep has thick rubber floor mats and I wear shoes so I really don't notice extra heat. I do know it's there though, that's one of the reasons I put in my hood louvers. They might not truly make much difference but at lest I know I tried.

When I retired and pulled my 260000 mile AMC 304 I decided to go with a later 4.0. Better fuel economy and much more reliable. Fewer problems on hills etc. I wasn't planning on racing anyway. Best move I ever made.

Weekend cruiser. Kinda Ina dead zone for anything more. Flat land and sand. Most action it will get is family vacation to the beach.

I think this is the key to everything you do to your Jeep. Just Southwest of San Antonio we have what we call sugar sand. We call it that because it is very fine. EVERYONE gets stuck at some point in it. That being said, if you can drive on sugar sand, you should be able to drive on beach sand. We have that too, at the coast - Padre Island, lot of fun. So the key here is tires and gearing. Need a good flotation tire with traction, but not mud lugs. MTZ type tires worked the best for our heavy fire trucks. Low range gear in 4wd was the only way to get around in out heavy trucks. My Jeep may be different though as I haven't had the opportunity due to its rebuild. :bounce: Now to tie this all in with the engine, torque is what will get you through. HP will spin the wheels and all you will do is dig yourself a hole. I feel very comfortable with my I6 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , so you should be fine with your AMC 304 . Spend some of that extra money on the axles and gearing. I think you'll be happier in the long run. :grinjeep:
