The engine is an original AMC 401 that was bored only 10 over to clean it up. The stock crank was offset ground to use chevy sized rods to increase the stroke, then balanced with the rods and pistons as an assembly, it is now about 418 ci. Custom Diamond pistons with 10.5:1 compression, file fit rings, Barry Allen ported heads, block machine work and build up of short block was by Stockton Machine Shop in CA (over $8500 and 4 months in short block). Each step of the machine work was done to match each component, including decking the block to match TDC of the 4 corner pistons. Comp Cams roller cam, Comp Cams solid roller lifters with Harland Sharp roller rockers. Holley fuel pump and Truck Avenger Carp on Edelbrock Air-Gap intake. All MSD ignition including wires. Due to the high compression this Jeep requires premium fuel. BJ's aluminum radiator/electric fan combo with matching aluminum overflow and washer containers. Custom ceramic coated headers with dual 3" side exiting exhaust through Magnaflow mufflers. Both the intake and headers were port matched to the heads. Rebuilt TH400 trans with all the performance upgrades, Alto Red clutches, deep aluminum with cooling fins pan, etc (over $2500 in trans build). B&M Racing transmission cooler with self contained fan and temp switch. Additional electric pusher fan in front of the radiator. Custom serpentine belt system instead of V-belts. Power brake booster replaced by a hydraulic system (Chevy hydroboost) for better stopping. Under hood and engine bay cleaned, sanded and sprayed with bed liner before the engine and related parts were installed. Added steering stabilizer, custom off-road bumpers with swing out tire rack and gas can holder.
I have taking this Jeep to trails in TN, KY, CO, NV, CA, and AZ, lots of fun, but I have been working in Hawaii for the past 2 years and just sitting in the garage is not good for it. Since I will probably be spending most of my time the next couple of years in Hawaii I need to sell some of my toys in Tennessee.
Before bidding please understand that this is a 34 year old Jeep, it has been wheeled and is not a show truck, floor pans have been replaced, all custom engine work etc. so I'm selling without any warranty or guarantee. I do have title in hand and can take Paypal. $1000 deposit within 48 hours, balance in 7 days.

2016 Jeep Wrangler recalled over impact sensor wiring
Thu, Oct 20 2016Fiat Chrysler just announced a pair of recalls totaling nearly 311,000 units. The bigger recall affects certain 2016 and 2017 model year Jeep Wranglers. Although, since FCA claims all of the affected 2017s are in the company's hands, really, only 2016 owners should pay attention here. The affected Wranglers suffer from an issue where wiring disconnects from impact sensors in certain types of crashes, potentially preventing the airbags and pretensioners from activating. FCA uncovered the problem in what its press release calls "a routine, in-house crash test" and claims "service availability is imminent." The affected Jeeps require a simple rewiring. The other recall, announced Tuesday, is more of a fleet issue, affecting 2007 to 2013 model-year Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cabs and 2011 to 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit police vehicles. There's a problem with "premature diode wear" in alternators that are subject to "frequent load cycling, at or near maximum amperage, [or] in hot ambient temperatures." Affected alternators could short out, causing a vehicle to stall or potentially catch fire. FCA lists 182,743 affected Wranglers in the US, 18,011 in Canada, 3,087 in Mexico, and 20,948 in global markets. The Ram/ Charger Pursuit recall lists 74,833 vehicles in the US, 10,077 in Canada, 1,088 in Mexico, and 134 outside the NAFTA region. Of all those vehicles, the Jeep recall hasn't caused any injuries or fatalities, while FCA says it's aware of one "potentially related injury" and no accidents due to its fleet vehicle recall. FCA says it will notify owners/operators of affected vehicles when service appointments are available. As per usual, all the work is free of charge. Related Video:
FCA's UAW workers to get $8,010 profit-sharing payout
Wed, Mar 3 2021UAW workers at FCA will soon be receiving $8,010 checks, which represent profit-sharing based on the company's 2020 performance. Although FCA's profit margins in 2020 were slimmer than the year prior, the union-employee payouts are slightly larger, due to a change in the formula that was negotiated in 2019 and has now gone into effect. Employees are now paid $900 for every 1% of profit margin FCA achieves in its North American operations. For 2020, the company enjoyed an 8.9% profit margin, and although that was down slightly from 9.1% in 2019, the checks are larger than last year's $7,280 payout. Still, FCA employees didn't fare quite as well as their counterparts at GM, who stand to receive profit-sharing checks of up to $9,000. GM workers did even better last year, netting $10,000. UAW workers at Ford had less to celebrate. They'll receive $3,525, based on the company's 2020 performance. That's a steep drop from last year's $6,600. FCA earned $6.472 billion in North America in 2020. The company is expecting an improved financial performance in 2021, as it's expected to avoid another coronavirus-related shutdown. It's also expected to benefit from the launch of the three-row Grand Cherokee L, as well as the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, all of which are high-margin products.

You probably won't see FCA's famous Easter eggs on an Alfa Romeo
Thu, Nov 17 2016They started in Jeeps, with images of seven-slot grilles showing up on windshield edges, the text "SINCE 1941" appearing in the clear plastic of headlight units, and a relief map of Moab engraved into a rubber cubby liner. Then a Chrysler got a map of Detroit and the outline of Laguna Seca materialized near the Viper's window switch. We've come to call them Easter eggs, but Klaus Busse points out that they were never really meant to be secrets, just ways to dress up what he calls "dead plastic." He's nevertheless cool with the phrase being applied and likes the enthusiastic response these design details get. Busse is intimately familiar with many of them, having signed off on many of them in his time as head interior designer for FCA's US operations. He recently moved to Europe to lead Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Fiat design there, so when I caught up with him next to the new Stelvio crossover at the Alfa stand in LA, I had to ask: Are we going to see any of those neat design details in Alfas or Maseratis anytime soon? The short answer is no. But he didn't say it's out of the question. Busse said if, for example, a designer wanted to put an Italian phrase somewhere on a car that was in keeping with the brand, he would allow it. Although he didn't come out and say it, it seems like he might feel this type of fun design element isn't necessarily appropriate for a higher-end brand like Alfa. And I get that. But I'm still going to check all the compartments of that new Alfa crossover for a map of the Stelvio Pass.
