Putting a bigger cam is only gonna make it rev higher on the tired bottom end.Resulting in a connecting rod that is at high speed when it flys throw the oil pan.Been there done that.
Why are you beating on your jeep if you have 302 Mustang??


yea its just turned 50,000 miles so thanks for the advice, but no
JEEPS BOTTEM END WORN?? lol the jeeps bottem end is damn near bullet proof, let alone a cam doesnt nessecarily make you rev higher, ever heard of a towing cam? jeep is torque laden and i should work with that considering its not made to be a topend warrior.

im beating on this thing because the mustang's valves started to stick in the head because of years of abuse, so now they are off and this is my daily driver.

but anyway you seem cool so thanks for the initial advice and it sounds like you got a sick ride
