Don't think so but TBI's are for mall queens ;)
It's even got a Dana 60 front and 14B rear. Smokin deal if you don't have to deal with smog.

Here it is. You'll have to log in to view the pic's. That cab would look sweet on my chassis ;)

Looks like he's down to $1200. ;) I may be interested in going in half if all you want is the drive train.

TBI  = 1987. NO TBI = no wheeling, or go propane.

Purty sure '87 til 94. I can't remember if Vortec started in '95 or '96. You will want to get the whole TBI vehicle.

Thanks I like the old school look also. I did screw up a little though. The paddle to release the hood is just above a shelf that seperates the radiator from the engine compartment area. With the new Grill I cant get my fingers in there to pop loose the hood... I can do it with a screw driver but thats not the answer... HUMMMM?

Hmmm is right.  Might need to check out the FSJ forums, which I think is where I read about doing that mod.  I wonder if the release lever needs to be relocated.  If I find find the threads about it I'll post back here.  Or maybe another SCUFFer knows the answer to this?

I traded a full set of  very valuable collectors edition SCUFF stickers for two CJ headlight rings today. Scuffed them up and sprayed on some hammertone black paint for that menacing look ...
