CJ2? I had one of those once with a steel cab and doors. Was awfully loud like a Hiniker cab rattling through a field. Kind of need hearing protection when operating either. Mine was pretty top heavy but real durable. If it ever got too much over the tipping edge and tipped, it uprighted easy enough with some help from a couple of other guys. Not much of a street vehicle though. At about 50 MPH it screamed like it was going to launch the transmission and some pistons. Because they didn't have shoulder harnesses or even seat belts back then, at about 50 MPH if I just completely let up off the gas my forehead used to tap the windshield because the gearing was like slamming on the brakes of most vehicles. The new jeeps? YJs I think they're called. Pretty much street vehicles. Can you find your old 2 or one like it? Slip a 4.0 into it, and now you're talking. Of course a 4.0 requires lot of computer aided stuff, so find an old AMC 258 or even a 232 without all of the computer aided stuff that the 4.0 is based off of. Of course, I suppose you could find the 4.0 computer and wiring to go along with a 4.0 to slip into the old CJ2. But, if you're going to slip a computer and wiring into a CJ2 and want a 6 cylinder, I'd go Dodge Magnum 3.9 V6. They're lighter, smoother running, shorter to get better front to rear weight ratio, get better fuel economy, about the same HP, a little less torque though.

Good luck in your decision.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
