Anyone know if a cam swap will work with a 3.7L? And if so, any improved torque?

Cam swap alone would not do much by themselves, plus it would need to be a specially ground cam
Drive it, enjoy it
If you want to mod something buy a Mustang :wink:

Woah woah woah. We can do much better than Fords....go get a GM. The old Camaros can be picked up fairly cheap. Get an 02ish Z28 and be on par with a C5 Vette. Or better yet pick up a C5/C6 Vette. There's a Chevy dealer selling a C6 Z06 by me. I'd be all over that if they weren't asking $48k....

Had to have a Vette when I was younger, or thought I did, was fun for a while , never again ( 66, 427, 4 speed)
Camaros, had a couple back when they were something, any more no class at all
Mustangs about the same sure all have big , fast engines available but again sort of all look the same
But thats what he needs for his go fast feeling :ROTFL:

Because 2 more HP and 4 more Ft. Lbs of torque would make our 3.7s take off like a jet engine...

I vote for 3rd or 4th gen Cummins in a TJ, JK, JKU, KJ, and KK. Because who doesn't like Cummins?????? :ALONE:

You know how much that Vette would be worth today? I love the 63 split windows, but the power trains of the 67s are so nice...who doesn't want an L88 427? Street legal race car....

I really only like 69 Camaros. I just like the lines of it, the rest are rather bleh.

As for Mustangs....I respect the classics like the late 60s early 70s, but they were just never my thing. The new generation does look pretty sharp though.

PA, I'm not really a diesel fan. If it's a heavy duty work truck or a boat then yea, throw a Cummins in it. Other than that, I prefer gas. To me, nothing beats the sound of an gas powered American v8.
