My daily driver 1981 Jeep CJ-5 with a .030
over AMC 360 V8 with a little bit of work
done to it.
Edelbrock 600cfm Performer carb
Edelbrock Performer Intake
CompCams 268H AMC camshaft with matched
timing set
Stock ignition system for the most part
Everything else is explained in the video.
Filmed on a high 20 F degree day. This Jeep
is too much fun and the AMC V8's are very
strong motors. This one has about 6,000
miles on it since the engine rebuild. The
speedometer is accurate give or take 2-3mph,
checked with a GPS.
The T176 is a great transmission and has
never skipped a beat. I've wheeled it pretty
hard and put it through some hell on the
street and at the strip with several tire
size/gear combinations. 3rd gear redlines at
about 90mph with the current setup. I've
never really gotten much into 4th gear.
For you guys who have shown concern regarding
the suspension, steering, etc... It has all
been refurbished/upgraded to stock/better
than stock condition. It drives very well,
straight and true down the road and is almost
nothing like the stereotypical CJ when it
comes to its road manners. Tags :JeepCJCJ-5CJ-7CJ5CJ8offroadfasthotrodspeedAMCV84x44wdmanual360401motor304wranglergrandcherokee
I broke a cv axle while i was turning around
and got stuck in the hole going back through.
Then my buddy chris came to help out in his
fully restored 73 cj-5 (his front axle
wouldnt engage in his wrangler, and his j-10
had bald tires) and while yanking on my jeep,
his motor mounts alowd his engine to move
forward and the fan chewed up his radiator.
(cut open 8-9 rows)
Had to call my dad out their to pull me out
after that :) Tags :jeep4x4mudbrokecvaxleradiatorzjgrandcherokeecjrestoredstuckpullstrap
