The engine is a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8, which is a popular swap into an old Jeep. Here, it’s built to rock, with a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock medium-rise intake manifold, and plenty of power on tap at any speed. Finned valve covers remind onlookers that this is a street machine built for performance, not slogging through the mud, and a few chrome dress-up items make it look great in the satin black engine bay. Fresh wiring, a dual master cylinder, and cast iron exhaust manifolds all help with its street-friendly image. It’s backed by a 4-speed manual gearbox feeding what appears to be the standard Jeep rear end. The front axle, of course, is a simple tubular setup, and you’d be amazed by how much quicker a Jeep gets when you dump 1000 pounds of heavy hardware. The stance is still pure Jeep and you shouldn’t be afraid of rough roads or venturing onto light trails with it, especially with those big 32×11.50-15 off-road tires on shiny Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels.
