Any engine pics? I sure would like to see if the engine is as nice as the rest. I would like to see the xfer case set up as well. Cool ride for sure. Jim
This should be posted in the "Jeeps with the Buick Heartbeat" section so those folks can enjoy it. Devon
That sure brings back some memories. Back in the early 80's I put a 400 sbc in a CJ5. It was my everyday Jeep but I raced it in the sand drags on weekends. One day the guys talked me into taking to the dragstrip and it ran a 13.07@102mph in the 1/4. I had a blast with that thing. Ever see a `69 427 Corvette get beat by a Jeep? That guy was really mad :laugh:
Turn'n a 13.07 will definitely blister a small block stock vette. I would have loved to see that. I bet the ride down the 1320 was scary for you though. Jim
