Cj7 build up input

[Cheepjeep85]

A 1985 CJ already has a fully boxed frame, and although a BBC weighs more then a small block, the suspension pays for it more in the long run. Still, it's never a bad idea to shore up the frame.

As far as torque and hp, my 401 dynos at 430hp with 460ftlbs of torque. I've experienced no adverse affects on my frame.
The 454 the shop here just finished up to go into a CJ7 dynoed at 375hp and 475ftlbs of torque.....not a big difference.

you are correct sir, i don't know what i was thinkin. (my crow sure was tasty)
