I think I have a couple of AMC breathers in the shop if you need...Nikkormat wrote:Posting for my own sanity...
I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to adapt a typical small block Chevy style breather or oil fill cap to an AMC V8.
Short of some modified valve covers the best I can come up with is a piece of 1.5" .120" wall DOM as a fill tube. With an ID of 1.25" it should work like a hot damn. And then I can run a properly sealed breather, or vent, or if I so desired I could even reverse the pcv flow. It might have to get slightly resized on a lathe or it may need to be glued in with ultra grey but either way it should work.
I appreciate the offer, but the stock ones are driving me nuts!Blake wrote:I think I have a couple of AMC breathers in the shop if you need...Nikkormat wrote:Posting for my own sanity...

I've spent a looong time researching profiles. And in my opinion if all you're changing is the cam and lifters there is no better "RV" cam than the Summit K8600:az chip wrote:Over on Jeepforum.com the guys that do engine builds over there spend months going over cam grinds. deck heights, piston selection, rod weights, and on and on. I cannot believe you are so cavalier in your approach to this build. To just go do it is beyond my ability to absorb.
Gabe, just kidding. You have like thirty threads all going and my old brain cannot keep up. I think you already know what you want to do. Just go with that and tell us how it goes.Nikkormat wrote:I've spent a looong time researching profiles.

214/224 duration @050
.472/.496 lift
112* lobe seperation.
There are better tourqe focused cams: Jones Camshaft # H440D64307. Designed for 440 Dodge motorhome. 256 advertised duration .491 lift. 202* duration at .050. But I want more top end and more lift.
It may seem cavalier, but look at this thread. 8 pages and I've bought a Jeep. Passed emmisions. Bought some parts. And found some problems.
