    I've always loved those Jeeps. Unfortunately they are a real pain to find parts for. Good luck with it. Looks like fun.

    a 350, eh?

    enjoy your torque upgrade. :beer

    any particular reason for the Yellow? it does make the engine pop out.

    That will be a fun rig. I use to have a scout that had the 225 in it. That thing would smoke the tires till you ran out of rubber.
    The V8 would have broke the running gear in half though.

    its yellow because thats how i bought it. a very nice gentleman with a VERY impressive collection of buicks saw my ad looking for buick parts on craigslist. he responded and said he had the motor.

    its freshly rebuilt and never been run, him and i both agreed that the yellow was not a good color, the pic makes it look nice but in reality the paint is flaking off.

    supposidly its a high compression motor out of a 68 gransport. this is just what im told.

    I do plan on breaking some parts. right now im trying to decide on my manual tranny or using a t350 i have



    right now i just have to dig out a carb and i could really use a set of headers,

    so if any one has a set of headers that theyd like to sell, send me a PM or email at Dweigel87@hotmail.com
