New 304 Engine Build - Looking for Recommendations

I'm getting ready to build a new 304 for my CJ-7. I'm planning on a fairly mild build - nothing too radical - just looking for some good throttle response and dependability.


Unfortunately, I haven't built an AMC motor in about 20 years (401s & 360s), so I'm guessing that the brands and parts that were THE BEST twenty years ago, may not be the best today.


I'm looking for the best BRAND and PART recommendations for:

- Pistons - aluminum, probably around 9.5:1 comp

- Piston Rings

- Roller Rockers

- Lifters and Push Rods

- Camshaft - nice lope, strong pull

- Intake Manifold and Carburetor

- Intake Manifold Gasket

- Head Gaskets

- Gasket Set

- Bearings - cam, crank, rod

- Timing Chain



Any comments / questions / recommendations will be appreciated - thanks!

 

I would check the E-place in case someone may have what you need.
Are you planning on doing the TeamRush ignition upgrade?. Definitely gave way better throttle responds as well as touch key starts
On my CJ when I owned it.

I haven't heard of it before, but will definitely check it out - Thanks!

 

It is a great mod and way cheaper than the HEI conversion.of course I did it on my V8 , but it works just as well on the six.
