So is it still a continental?? Sounds like a beast!! What is cruise like? 140 knots? 150 knots? I remember thinking a stock 182 was good for about 130 and a RG was closer to 140. Been a long time.

Yep, it's a Continental, blueprinted, ported, and flow-balanced. The extra hp doesn't do much for speed, but is really noticeable on takeoff and climb.

I usually cruise about 150mph, which is about 130kts.
 
I apologize for these rusty jeep pics lately here but I just had to show ya'al this one a lil further , I have never seen floor rust like this in all the ones that have come through here in the last 15 plus years, so bad that the frame has passed north through the body , hence why it is leaning so bad. Assumption was broken frame but once I got all the life jackets, , trans filters and tree stands out of it, I could see the green grass. :crazy:

I spy a slate dash pad and seat. Dibs!!
 
It's a 6cyl auto 1981 non tilt. ZR, the column has a broken ign switch, but it is tight with a nice indicator. Belizeit, that's a great observation, sometimes those bolts turn dark brown but yes I'll have to grab those. No slate blue in this one tho, just really faded black.


 
To JJ and to CB. I am looking to change the steering column in Stump Jumper to a tilt with a 4 speed auto shift lever too. The one I have was bought at Steering Columns Galore and I need to call them and see what they can do.

Bet that dash pad would look good SEM'd. Doesn't look like it has any cracks.

81 with paddle doors? Thought they started in 82.
 
I think some early 81s could have had non paddles, but these doors are original to the jeep, and about a mid year 81 according to the VIN. and JCC is right, 1980 was first year Laredo and non paddle doors had those very unique panels and upper strips.

Flaming River makes a nice set up. :wave:
 
Have flaming river in the cj7. Nice looking but has it's problems. If you hit down on the steering wheel the tilt slips (sounds like it's slipping teeth if they use that setup). If some one grabs the wheel to help get into the jeep it has enough movement that the adapter mount for the grant steering wheel rubs the steering column. Pull the wheel the other direction at the right place and you can re-center the wheel.
