First post Looking for cam suggestion
Posted: October 31st, 2025, 7:59 pm
Hi all, I am rebuilding a 4.2 in my 1980 Wagoneer. This thing is a sluggish beast and I am hoping to get just a little more bottom end power to help with acceleration.
The Jeep is an automatic with 3:31 gearing and 31 inch tires.
Right now, I can't get up to freeway speed on the on-ramp, I have had Semi's blow their horns at me because I am impeding traffic. My goal is to improve that acceleration. Not looking for top quarter miler times, just a little bit more of a comfort margin.
I would appreciate any suggestions for brands/part numbers. Thanks!
