    Just another idea for a weird and different street cruiser. Picked up a 89 jeep Comanche MJ short bed 2wd. I had one years ago and was a great little truck. Just thought it would be better with a Buick 350-4 powering it? So now the fun begins. Should make a cool sleeper. Everyone puts a v8 in a Chevy s-10 , but that's the norm and easy. I like a challenge !!!!!

    Great to see a small block Buick going into a Comanche. It's not the first time a Buick 350 has been put in a Jeep. From 68-70 Kaiser Jeep had 350 Buick engines in their full size trucks. That changed after AMC bought Jeep from Kaiser in 1970 and put AMC power plants in all Jeep models. Good luck with your build!

    That takes me back when I was real young my friend had one, well it was his dad. He would takes us one at a time off roading and would end it with a big jump. We would be off the ground 4 wheels and all for a good 4 seconds and he never bent the frame. Scary stuff. Boat loads of fun

    yes it is a 350. Should have plenty of torque in that little truck. Going to be fun to drive.
