Well she got 306783 miles on her and 3 lbs oil psi at 1k rpm. Time for a rebuild. I want to do a cam and valve job on her as well. Any good sugestions on a mid range cam and valve options?


Trick

 

...no suggestions on the parts other than: STROKE IT!

 

Thats gona cost me over 1k in parts, lol. Ive thot bout it trust me.

 

3 angle valve job?

What are you doing with the truck? Crawling where you need low end pull? Mud where high RPMs are used?

 

Crawling, Daily driver, trail rig.

All the above...

 

I would stick with a stock cam, or something with midrange power in mind.

 

thats what I was thinking, I also want to pair my valve size my cam. Im wanting to know what cam and valve size will bebest for my needs....

 

Here ya go!

Leave the valve train stock. AMC did one heck of a job getting a great compromise of power and economy out of this engine. Hard to improve on IMHO.

 

more I read, the more im lookin at stock replacement with some porting...

 

Stock cam. Match port the head and manifolds.

 

Yea, lookin like 200$ my cost on a comp kit. Cam, lifters, chain and gears. I think im go n that rout...

 

I'm rebuilding a Golen 4.6 stroker with a stock cam.....

 

the 97+ dual pattern cam works very well, I'm sure cruiser will correct me if it will not work in your RENIX.

 

I haven't a clue actually. I'm going stock Renix cam and ditching the Comp cam and associated valve springs in my build. 26,000 miles and the lifters were shot, cam had chatter marks on it and the lower parts of the cam bearings were mushed out. For 15 HP and 15 lb/ft of torque sacrificed, I'll go back together with a stock cam.
