- 1979 Jeep CJ5 with 304 V8, T18 Transmission, Dana 20 Transfer case with TeraLow 3:1 gears, 4.88 axle gears, Detroit Locker up front and Ox Locker in back with 1 piece axle shafts, 36" SuperSwamper SX Tires, Shackle reversal, MileMarker Hydraulic winch, MSD 6A ignition.
This is more of a summer question but I have a V8 in my CJ. The under-hood temperatures can get pretty high and sometimes I have vapor lock problems. I am wondering what it would take to get hood louvers.
Can a shop add louvers like what the old Landcruisers used to have?
They are off to the side so rainwater wouldn't get on anything important. If louvers can't be cut into my hood I guess I could buy louvers to pop rivet on.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
