1983 Scrambler "STUMP JUMPER". Frame off, 5.3 Conversion.

I don't think you're going to get off the hook that easy. For a few dollars more (relatively speaking) you could upgrade the drivetrain to something that could handle the additional horsepower :evil:
 
I've done cam, valve springs and 1.8 roller rockers on my 5.3L and I still want more. Math says my current combo should be roughly 380-400 HP at crank... I want more.... 600 HP would be nice. :evil:

We are never happy.

I'm happy, but I know I could be happier!! 600hp would make me happier, but once I have 600, I know I'd be even happier with 800!! :crazy: But I think I'll just stick with wanting 600.... for now.
 
Sort of like $$ I suppose... I hear it doesn't make you happy... I mean I am miserable, but I think with enough money and no bills, I would be quite a bit happier... still waiting for someone to set up and experiment for that and I will gladly volunteer! ;)

I'm fortunate enough to have all my bills paid, single and retired with enough money to live well. I'm happy as a two dicked dog.
Experiment still in progress
 
Removed my shaking CJ mirrors and installed some all metal TJ mirrors. Much better.

This might not make sense to a lot of folks just like most of my ideas, but I am considering pulling out the floor shift and replacing the steering column with a tilt 4 speed auto column shifter and taking the center console completely out. I'm thinking it will make the interior look much simpler and open and function even better. I don't think I have ever seen a CJ center console that actually looked like it belonged there. Note the heater/defroster controls have been converted to AC/heater/defrost controls. I'm also adding a third small fuel pressure gauge being built by Speedhut.

That makes sense to me. I purposely did not put a center console in my Scrambler to give me more perceive space. With the hard door touching my leg I didn't want a console on the other side. How do the speakers sound on the plastic dash pad? I bought the centrapod for the floor but I am not sure like how it looks. Also I wouldn't mind the integrated cup holders.
 
The speakers are not so good. I've lined the plastic boxes so it could be the speakers. I guess it's just not ideal for good sound. I have the centrapod in my other Scrambler and it seems fine.
