Now, that right there would be one FUN ride! Probably cost more than a dime to do though. I just looked that one up the other day for a buddy (his is a wagon even cooler!). Runs O/P/Q. Enough cam, good heads and intake, 2V carb isn't the biggest 2G but it's bigger than what I'm used to dealing with.

76-79 Chevy 305 2-bbl is a good choice in any body style.

Dwight, I think you should build the Jeep package and fully document the process. You could be a trendsetter. Well, you already are a trendsetter but could add Jeep building to trendiness.

I will have to check to see if I have wrenches that fit a Jeep (or MoPar).

Dwight, I will provide all hand and small power tools you require.

Woodfin Brothers Ace Hardware will ship directly to your shop at no charge. It will be our contribution to the fine things you continue to do for racers.

The only string is that you document and post building the project.

Having owned several of those 360 Cherokees/Wagoneers. you should know that they are HEAVY!! Also as you already know - very little race equipment is made for Jeeps. The AMX's run pretty well with that engine type.
My Comanche is somewhat lighter/simpler with the 4.0 engine.
