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.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more
Mon, Apr 1 2019There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Jeep recalling 75,000 Cherokees over air-conditioning lines
Tue, Oct 27 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued a recall for an estimated 75,364 examples of the Jeep Cherokee in the United States. The problem stems from an air-conditioning line, which may have been installed to close to the exhaust manifold. "Under certain operating conditions," says FCA in the statement below, "this may pose a fire risk." Thus far, however, the company says it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The owners of those 75k Jeeps (as well as another 18,000+ in other markets) can expect to hear from their local dealers to have the problem rectified. However the manufacturer also advises owners to watch out for indicators like air-conditioning loss or a dashboard warning light and contact their dealers if necessary. Related Video: Statement: Air-conditioning System October 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 75,364 U.S.-market SUVs to inspect and replace, as required, their air-conditioning lines, as required. FCA US launched an investigation after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received two customer complaints involving smoke and fire. The Company discovered air-conditioning lines on some vehicles may have been installed in close proximity to their engines' exhaust manifolds; under certain operating conditions, this may pose a fire risk. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The recall is limited to certain 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Additional vehicles are affected in other markets. They include an estimated 7,571 in Canada; 4,018 in Mexico; and 6,942 outside the outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which FCA US will provide free of charge. . Customers who observe air-conditioning loss or any other concern, such as a dashboard warning light, should contact their dealers. Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
