Okay, guys. The GT-40P is almost installed, so it's time for another engine project. With the start of the new business, I'm going to build a CJ7 as a flagship vehicle to go alongside my not-so-stock station wagon.
The drivetrain will be a 351W (1988 era), C4, and I'm debating on the transfer case.
As soon as the P motor is off the engine stand, the 351 is going on, for a complete strip-down. This one will also get a main girdle because it's going to see hardcore abuse in comparison to what a street engine would.
I'm thinking I'll keep the stock crank and rods and install 10:1 compression pistons. What are your opinions on that?
Keep in mind, I'm hoping to keep this as cheap as possible without sacrificing reliability. It will be a long, slow build.
