Jeep CJ7 Custom Conversion 1982 Body with 2005 5.3L GM Engine

1982 Jeep CJ

I bought this restored CJ7 from the original owner in October 2009 with 160,100 miles (VIN #1JCBN87EXCT014032). I added many features listed below, and shipped it to Maui in December of that year. Once on Maui I realized that the original 4 cylinder 'Iron Duke' was just not enough power.

I hired Novak (http://www.novakadapt.com/index.htm) to perform a complete conversion in May of 2010. This included replacing the old Iron Duke with a GM Generation III Series 5.3L Vortec engine from a 2005 Silverado (VIN #2GCEC13Z871183143); installing a new AX15 Terminator 5 speed manual transmission; and installing a new radiator, fan, A/C system, hoses, wire assembly, drive shafts, and exhaust system. The 5.3L engine had 17,000 miles on it when the Silverado was totaled. Check the Novak link above where there is a video featuring this Jeep conversion.

In total, I have invested just over $43,000 in the Jeep, the conversion and all of the other upgrades.

In July 2013 I shipped the CJ to Long Beach and drove it to where I live in Phoenix.

I love this CJ, but I don't have room to keep it. I have a 1970 Jeepster Commando that I also did a Novak Conversion on that I am keeping as I can tow my boat on that machine.
