54 Willys Jeep
1954 Willys Jeep With 327 Small Block V8
Same Jeep Undergoing Prep Work.
I bought this Jeep from a friend in Garland TX.  It was camo colored with white steel rims.  I changed the 2 bbl carb and intake for a 4 bbl system, installed seats from an old Datsun 240z and  bought the chrome rims for it.  It took every Camaro Z-28 and Mustang GT I met in Dallas off the line.  Of course with 5.38:1 gears in the axels, it got a top speed of about 65 mph.  This pic taken Feb 97.
A couple of my friends and I are prepping the jeep for the paint job and getting ready to change out the carb and intake.  With a 327ci engine, a holly 600cfm carb and an Edlebrock performer aluminum intake it would definately scoot.

I painted it not long after this pic.  "Cheap Wal-Mart Blue"  It was ok for a few years but I chose it because I didnt mind getting it scratched up.  This pic taken Oct of 93.
327ci Engine In The Jeep
Isnt that beautiful.  A monument to excessive power inside an unlikely package.  At this time in the Jeeps life it had about a foot and a half of exhaust from each manifold and thats it.  It was very loud.  From the original pic you know that I had to ditch the 2bbl for the 4bbl.
