New 425 Horse LS3 GM Crate Engine w New GM Performance Harness and ECU for Engine and rebuilt 4l70E Transmission

This truck does NOT have a junkyard engine w a spliced up harness made by some random guys tuning that will be impossible to support.  

It is all new GM factory production and easy to maintain. 

I've always loathed hearing about an expensive build that starts w a 37k mile engine from a wrecked Camaro and a bunch of spliced wires running a tune frrom a random guys laptop.

The engine, tune, computer and harness on this truck are all NEW from GM performance.  Factory plug and play parts right from the catalog.  Plug and play with their support at any local GM dealer.  Receipts and part numbers included with the sale.

The radiator on this is a $1000 DeWitt unit w dual Spal fans all Made In USA and installed without a bunch of hacking.  Optima fluid free battery.  Custom air intake.  The good stuff.

The interior on this truck would be nearly impssible to replicate.  It came from a 27k mile donor truck.  It is not all the Chinese stuff available from the catalogs.  The seats, door panels, dash and kick panels are all original w more detail than the new Chinese stuff.  Zoom in on the scroll work on that door panel trim.  Very rich factory saddle interior color.

Carpet is custom snap in and snap out for a truck to use at the beach.  Fully lined interior to make this truck useable and prevent rust.

I did this to challenge myself with something new and delve into the LS world.  I am now a fan of the engine and Dakota Digital.

They make really nice components to interface with the new components without over complicating the install.

I hate the look of neat old retro cars with hacked in gauges that look like a 1985 Knight Rider dash.

Check out this intsrument cluster

Fully digital analog gauges taking info directly from the GM harness without 47 adapters.  It is better than my 2019 Dually as I can program this easily for warning notices, oil changes, colors and dim it.  It accomodates the 4 speed overdrive trans with an indicator and all lights.

WOW!  About $1500

Oh yeah...this truck has a factory tilt steering column...not some hot rod shiny thing.  It has COLD new AC.  I even re-installed the 8 track player (not wired) but it comes with the group ELO 8 track that was in the glove box (Electric Light Orchestra).

Fully painted from the rotisserie underside w a welded but band clamped true Stainless exhaust for easy serviceability.  Yep, it's an H pipe for performance and exhaust balance.

5 New BFG AT USA made tires and USA made wheels that you'd want to have.   If you've followed my site you know I warn you about the builders that throw on Chinese tires after they have the nerve to ask you top dollar. It is the easiest place to look for the a quality build as to what was invested in it.

 I learned in doing this truck it is way harder to build a GMC than a Chevy as there were less made and less support.  I'm very happy with my end product.  I would consider partial Jeep trades...earrly or late.  No YJs Please.  

FYI, The soft top windows come out and the rear has a screen that can go in for that open air look and feel.  Softopper is a small company w a good product!  

Original 45k mile 1986 CJ7 w Dana 44 Rear, 6 cyl, 5 speed, original window sticker, wheels, seats etc

A value for for someone who wants a rot free, low mile, better than most, VERY original driver CJ7 w beautiful shiny original floors.

SOLD 5/11/20

MORE DETAILS AND PHOTOS HERE

Original window sticker AND an unused set of keys w original stock number on the dealer key chain.

45,409 Original Miles on an original odometer. 

Those Chinese speedometers you see in so many "all new" "Restored" Jeeps are an eyesore as a center piece on a CJ dash.  The numbers and lettering look like a Made in China billboard.

Fun fact.  82 and up CJs have 6 digit odometers.  This means if they have more than 100k miles it is registered with a 6th digit. 

81 and older CJs are 5 digit and Carfax is useless in 80s and to some degree 90s as electronic records were weak. 

Did you ever notice how many "low mile" 81 and older Jeeps there are???

Shiny Original paint floors.  This Jeep was sold new without a console.  No holes drilled for it.  I have them for this Jeep and yours if it is something you wantVery original underhood with all the glorious 80's emissions in place.  Keep it while it's running right...as it is now, and lessen it if you start having issues.  Repair it if you have to for testing or if your'e a masochist and just like doing battle w a Commodore 64 like computer

Original paint on those 34 year old wheels.More pictures to come if it doesn't sell first.  Seems like a no brainer to me for the right buyer.

New guy introduced to the shop 8-3-19
