Project 401
June 5, 2004The Donor: Kozmo - 1976 Cherokee S NTWe started with a 1976 401 from the above mentioned Cherokee. This engine was built in a race shop in Albuquerque several years ago, but only has 40,000 miles on it when pulled for the transplant. It is bored .030 over with forged pistons. Oil pressure has been good and compression checks out just fine. It had a couple lifters making some noise, so a new Comp Cams 260H and lifters were acquired. Timing chain and gears also replaced. It also got a Edelbrock SP2P intake that was bead blasted and a Carter AFB 750 carb on top a 1 inch open spacer. A new water pump was installed as well. Click on thumbnails for larger view... |
