  • Engine: Chevy 383 Magnum (engine in a crate)-small block, balanced and blueprinted, 375 h.p., Edelbrock intake manifold-Performer, Chevy HEI Complete Unit, Spark Plugs-Excell Short Header Plugs.
  • Tranny: TransTurbo 400 with Saturday Night Special converter.
  • Carburetor: Holley Double Pumper 750cmf, Magnum cams, Magnum Roller and Rocker, Competition Cams camshaft.
  • Gear Size: Dana 44-front and rear, Gear Ratio-4:56

Off Frame Restoration-frame sandblasted, primed and painted (Powder Coated), new wheels, new interior, new Roll Bar and Brush Guard, all new bolts and bushings. In other words-like a brand new Jeep only better! There is no rust and is in excellent shape!

If anyone would know how many of these were made in 1983, please let me know!
