Back in the early 80's, had a bud find an old Willy's in an even older barn. 'Twas straight, but covered in chicken shizl which helped him reduce his purchase price in accord. He made good progress on it, 'til there was a wife, then progeny and a move overseas. There's a moral there somewhere.....

LOL Dont want a blower in a CJ. I thought that was a modern LS1 like a 5.3 or 6L. Friend has a 2005 5.3 computer controlled in his 7 and it is bad [Bleeeeep!]. Totally driveable. Will not stall on any incline and starts in any weather. It dont hurt that it will almost pop wheelies but the first 3 points are what I am most interested in for a jeep.

Used to be able to drive all over the place up in the hills where something like that would have been fun, but now.......? fun resto/fishing rig. i gave up on building toyotas when most of the local 4 wheeling places got closed down. there weren't that many around even then, and i don't like being associated with the hillbilly punks tearing up private property.
