This is a 1983 Jeep CJ7 that has been converted to a GM Goodwrench 350 crate engine and Turbo Hydramatic 350 3 speed automatic transmission. It was originally a straight 6 with a stick shift. This Jeep runs and drives great, the 4wd system with front locking hubs works great. It doesn't overheat or run rough with the tried and true Titan custom aluminum radiator and smooth, proven Quadrajet carb. The oil pressure is steady and is 15 psi at idle. Water temps are 175-180* around town and 190-195* on the interstate at 65 mph. Front and rear solid axles mounted on leaf springs mean plenty of articulation for rugged trails. The 8 lug, heavy duty, 1969-1972 style, GM 3/4 ton axles are plenty tough to handle the abuse that this Jeep is built for. Power steering means two finger turns and the sure shifting B&M Shifter ensure that you are always in the right gear. The tire carrier spindle is rated for over 1000 lbs and can mount any wheel and tire, and any lug pattern you desire. This Jeep is Trail and Woods ready as it sits. The rear drums have been rebuilt and it stops and steers great. Rock lights under each seat mean safe trail riding after dark. Odometer is showing 73xxx, but may not be correct. The engine and suspension swap were completed by the previous owner at unknown time. The engine doesn't smoke or stumble and doesn't burn any oil. The transmission shifts smoothly with no slippage. Solid body with no rust. Rust under battery mount was treated. This Jeep has some minor dents and scratches reasonable for a vehicle of this year and from having fun in the woods and on the trails. Over $16,000 invested in this go anywhere and have a great frickin' time doin' it Jeep.
