Comanche With A 401 In It.

I didn't say it was under the hood, did I? :rotf:

grrrrrr......

[jimoshel]

Good one. :rotf:

[carnuck]

Someone is supposed to come by this evening and buy it from me for $750. (just the motor with no accessories)

[Minuit]

I wonder what an MJ with a halfway well built 401 would be like. They sure sound good. How much does it weigh?

[johnny quest]

theres one on youtube. do a search for 'jeep comanche 10.71'; can't link to it cause I'm at work

Tease!

This is an actual MJ with a 401 in it. A professionally built one at that... Making 517 dyno confirmed HP on pump gas.

 

 

 

 

 

He said it does a 12.1 in the quarter too, when it hooks up and finally gets traction that is.

12.1 in a truck that light is way too slow for 517 HP. If optimized that claimed combo should be running high 10's when it hooks up. That ET indicates closer to 390-400 hp. Still not bad but just a reminder that "confirmed" may not mean "real."

Pretty clean job. I wonder what tranny he has in it.

[carnuck]

It's light enough that a beefed up 999 or 727 would work.

Sure the 12.1 wasn't the time spent masking the engine compartment before painting? Only kidding, very nice looking truck.

A stock 727 can handle 530hp/560tq with no issues.....  :thumbsup: Pulled one out of a junk yard, cleaned it up, put in a manual valve body & new converter, and it is working fine 11 years later.

NHRA rules say a roll cage is needed if running 11.49 with a hard top and 13.49 in a convertible. I don't see a roll cage so maybe running 12's for that reason. Some tracks will flag your car if you run faster than your safety equipment allows.
