Non-Chevy Project Idea - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking about reshuffling some of my various 4x4 parts to create a little monster Jeep to sell off. I have a 75 CJ5 with D44 front and rear stuffed with 4.27s, a T-18 and a D20 T-case. It's sitting on 33" Swampers with a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift. It also has a full metal hardtop (weird look with a square back). The 258 sitting in it is an oil puking smoker.

I also have an 87 YJ that I'm going to drop an injected 4.0 HO into for my son. The motor coming out of it will go into the CJ5.

How do y'all think an AMC 401 out of a 71 Javelin would do in that lil CJ5? Too much of a death trap, or would it sell?
