What a beast! Did you go with 18x9F and 18x10R? You will need 295 drag radials minimum to get a hint of traction lol!
Mopar to the bone!!!

They're OEM GT500 mustang offsets and widths, I think the fronts are 8" and the back is like 9.5"...ish. I remember texting the offsets with a tape measure when I bought them, he Said, get 'em, We'll make em' fit , LOL I'm hoping the Wagon azz end will help with the hook

Thanks Buddy, I'm actually thinking about selling the Rocky now since this will be much more practical, I hardly ever get to go to the track anymore Haha The trick will be finding somebody that thinks Rocky is practical...... Good luck with that..... Lol

Actually, if i were to detune it it would be a fun driver, its already got a full exhaust on it....hmmm. Its as practical as any cj jeep out there just a wee bit quicker. I could probably just pull the drive shaft and tow bar it to the track with the Val.

The wagon is looking sweet and should be a blast to drive. What kind of power is the engine supposed to make?

Tony, The motor should make right around 560/560 with absolutely wall to wall torque....and this guestimate should be fairly accurate based on a very similar 442" (401AMC based) stroker combination that made 545/545 on the dyno with very similar (slightly less) head flow and cam. It pretty much follows my 'default' Streetwize SB stroker recipie, but the W2's are an added bonus, plus Stephen's gonna fab up a nice set of 1 7/8" headers to fit the chassis. I'm stoked how cool this thing's gonna be for real street driving. So light with so much power. BTW that Jeep CJ-7 runs easy low 12's....at around 3800 pounds w/d. There's vids of it on youtube (type in wizerulz). So....at around 3100 pounds curb weight with a 3800 stall 9 1/2" UCC converter and 3.73 gears it ought to move pretty seriously quick but be extremely docile for street driving. Tony your cars were really the inspiration for this one

Sure,Mike
71' 360 based, 10:0 6.200" rods, 4.06" x 4.25" BPE crank. Icon 1.26" CH SBC D dish piston piston with new eyebrows W2 heads with 2.08/1.60 most of the work in the bowls and port transition. Holley Single plane W2 intake, Bullet (ultradyne grind) .605"/.605" 251/259 @.050 Solid roller on 109 in at 105(mild .4033 street lobes), BAM/MRL pro roller lifters. Probably run a 750 quickfuel carb but thinking about MSD Atomic (if the budget allows...got a kid going in to college next month!)
The only "high tech" thing is I applied thermal barrier ceramics to the chambers/valve faces and exhaust ports.
Simple and reliable
