- 1980 CJ7 Renegade 304 2bbl Dana 30 / AMC 20 3:54-1
I revived a 1980 CJ7 Renegade with 57,000 miles. It runs great, it is just something I really don't want to build because of the originality of it. Also my daughter says it smells like a go-cart. Carb a little rich. Do I put the cam and injection upgrade on it and ruin the "never touched" condition? Or pull engine and Transmission and follow the masses with an LS swap? You can't deny the reliability, instant power improvement. I'm on the fence on this. How much "heating up" can AMC 304s take?
