Oh no! You're going to get spoiled and leave...
I'm jealous of the choices my roommate has in terms of parts suppliers
for the Jeep. I swear, the only vehicle that might rival it is the VW.
>of work to be done before it hits the road (electrical, drivetrain, body).
You can get complete wiring looms, and even a fiberglass body tub, for
Jeeps from any of a dozen suppliers.
Don't know what your engine plans are, but Mopar Performance has a bunch
of inline-6 parts in the catalog now. I think it'd be neat to transplant
a Magnum V8 though. Or even a V6. A current production I-6, which has
essentially the same combustion chamber design as the Magnums, with a
gear-driven cam, and hot cam with roller rockers, yeah, that's the ticket!
I don't see any MP computer for the MPI engines (came out in '96?).
A wrecked TJ is what you need.
