Rick Mudge was the engineer in charge of airflow development for AMC/JEEP/ CHRYSLER engineering from 1976 to 2001 and developed the 4.0L Jeep cylinder heads intake and exhaust manifolds through those years.
Rick developed a 4.0L JEEP engine for drag racing in the NHRA Competition Eliminator class. His engine set the ¼ mile national record in 1996 at an 8.60ET/ with the best speed of 150.90 MPH spinning 9000 RPM through the traps. This engine was built with a combination of stock and heavily modified production and racing parts. Through this multi-part series, we’ll learn who Rick is, his work, and his formula for building a 10,000 RPM 4-liter Jeep.
I’ll warn you that the audio quality is only as good as Rick’s flip phone would allow, this wasn’t recorded in a studio, and I’ve done the best I could to clean up and mask the poor-quality recording.
In this episode, Rick tells us how to modify the camshaft for the 4.0 to reach 9,000 RPM.
