CJ-7 Jeep project

CJ will sell and bring some cash. Already trying to find #2

I have a TJ and a JK I just purchased and those may not bring as much but they won’t be as deep either.

A lot of cash.

Yes. I see them bringing over 40 but that’s digital dash, immaculate tubs, geared, axles, etc.

Got to love a strong jobs reported economy. That's stupid money for a CJ.

It’s not just your ordinary CJ

Oh I get it but it's still stupid money for a toy. There is a nice CJ7 for sale up here in Charlotte right now that is 100% original. Pretty good price...I've offered. Nice older gentleman. He knows I'm a buyer if he will move a little. We shall see...

The end game I envision would be something like this.

That is a spitting image of my CJ...no stinger bumper and no Renegade nomenclature. Been toying with a SBC but can't bring myself to pull the AMC V8 out of her. When the time comes, It'll probably be half the cost to go SBC than it would be to rebuild this old AMC.

I'ma let Kevin figure all this out and then he'll wind up charging me double when I finally decide to have him do it to mine.

I have an LS sitting on go. Screw a carburetor, turn the key and go....

But then "I"can't work on it....would have to bring it to you all the time. I snatched fuel injected SBCs out of an Albemarle and went back to carb'd motors with a Mallory ignition because I could make the damn things get me back home.

I mean, I see where this has a lot of upside for you...LOL

On a serious note, does Advance Adapters or Novak have a way to adapt from an LS block to a T-18/D20 combo? I already have a Painless Harness installed....would it need a complete rewire too?

Novak Adaptor

Yes you will have to re-wire. Here is a harness out of a Tahoe we cleaned up so you don’t have all the extra crap. I have a solid weekend in time customizing this, but it was my first.

And the heart of the cooling system to keep her cool...

That adaptor is to mate the AX 15 (5 speed) and Dana 300 transfer-case to the LS

Novak makes them for everything. The 4 door JK is going to get the 4L60E with corvette servo’s and a beefy sunshell.

I just want to hear the thing when its done.

**KRT** · 02-01-2020, 09:52 PM

Me too. Time is of the essence. Here are some pics of the cam going in that’s out of sequence. New cam bearings, rod bearings, main bearings, and rings.
