Re: A few "old jeep" questions
PS - if it were me, and I was looking for a farm or hunting jeep - I'd try to find a cj8 (scrambler) for the extra bed capacity. You ain't fitting an elk in the back of a cj5 or even a cj7. The 4cyl offered in the cj8 was the GM 'iron duke' 2.5L, and I think it was upgraded to a fuel injected version at some point (certainly by 1989 as I had one in my YJ)....the fuel injection in that was solid, and if the tire size was kept reasonable, it was a solid engine....But I am guessing the cj8 - which I think ended production in 1984? - was probably pre-fuel injection. I think a slightly modern fuel injected 2.5L 4 cyl out of a YJ would be a sweet swap into an old flatfender cj....but I digress....
