cam suggestion for 48' Jeep cj2a with 4.8L truck engine
I am installing a 4.8L truck engine in my 48' jeep cj2a with a 4sp stick 4.11 gears and 34" tires. I am sure the engine should perform well for my application stock but I can't leave well enough alone. I am thinking I will have a fairly free flowing intake filter setup as well as headers or at least a corvette manifolds and free flowing exhaust. I would like to install a mild cam that would work well for some extra power while still making decent low end torque for a jeep. The Jeep will be quite light compare to a chevy truck. I should end up in the range of about 2900lbs which is like 2000lbs lighter than most chevy 4x4 trucks like this engine came from. I don't know what the original cam specs out as (probably very mild) but I am thinking that a stock LS1 cam grind would work nice in this application. I would guess a ls6 cam would be too much. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks.

stock cams from '01-02 fbodies are worth 15hp and will work with the stock valvesprings.
