Hello, i'm new to this forum and could use some advice.
I have a 77 CJ5 with a AMC 232 i6 . I used to own a 65 amc rambler with the same motor infact i have enough parts to build about 4 ramblers left........ anyway when i bought my 77 CJ5 i was excited due to the fact that i had so many spares but my excitment was short lived when i found out that the compresion diffrence meant i would lose 55 horse over the 65 AMC 232 i6 . is there a diffrence in the height of the head that causes such a diffrence ? could a 65 head boost the compresion and give me back 45 horse ? would a 2 barrel intake from a 65 work with no mods and give me back an additional 10 more horse ? anyone got the specs releated to the heads ? thanks everyone
