i have no idea what the hell the motor is, trying to figure it all out
this thing is so freaking fast and has so much balls!
i love no top, doors, or windshield!

 

[blondejoncherokee]

know according to the carb its a engine from 1957-1975
ordered a carb rebuild kit according to the part number its a ford carb(2100 series) motorcraft carb

did new plugs and plug wires and oil change today

tightened up a few things here and there, replaced a few hoses,

I just saw one of these up in Big Bear and the guy had installed a turbo on his V6 with low gears (cant remember ratio). It was a nice rig

 

[blondejoncherokee]

yah im not going to worry about gears
it should 5.38s stock right?

yah we are going to go to home depot and buy more grey and black outdoor carpeting to make the front match the back and get rid of the green indoor carpet.
it definetly has character tho.
im just stoked that it runs so good.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Get him to bring it out to SierraFest and run some trails and show it off.

[blondejoncherokee]

as long as he will go he will be drivin it.
looking for cheap 2.5" lifts right now.
prefer 0-1.5" lift but there really is no options.
thatll be the only suspension/drive train modification is to replace the leaves and shocks

Where's the distributor located on the engine. Looks like an early 225cu.in.
