Welcome to Jeepz. IMO You're throwing money away by putting in a cam, I'd save it for the new engine. With the amount of metal floating around you'd never be able to reuse the cam for fear of damaged bearing journals.

Ask any specific questions you want, we'll try our best to answer them. Have you checked out NAGCA?

i forget to note that i also planned on removing and rebuilding that engine prior to these up grades my fault. i intend on purchasing a new cam, new bearings cam & main hoping the crank doesnt need machined but if it does oo well i can get it done. also purchasing a full gasket set fel- pro from summit.
