My First Look at the CJ's

I looked at the same car today.It's pretty complete for a race car,and no doubt you can get the car and be competitive right away.It's put togther well,and you can tell a lot of thought went into it's construction.Comparing the Ford to the new Challenger Drag Pak,I can see which way Mopar decided to go with their war plan.I haven't seen a Drag Pak in person,just pictures,but when the Challengers are completed,they will competitive with the Fords.IMHO,the cost will be about the same,maybe a bit less with the Dodge.Ford did their homework with the Mustang to offer the car as complete as it is.

And Larry Hill is right,the Mopars have never received any "gifts" in the cylinder head department.If Edelbrock, 440 Source,Indy etc ever produces a head with the stock valve size,then we will have finally got a present worth keeping.
