With a newer 350 V8 crate motor installed in 2015, this Jeep is ready to roar wherever the road-or lack thereof-takes you.

Slide into the cabin and feel the blend of classic ruggedness and functional upgrades. The interior features aftermarket front bucket seats with seat belts for added safety and comfort, complemented by a rear bench seat that holds onto its vintage character with slight weathering. Coated flooring adds durability while the dashboard remains true to its roots, enhanced by an AutoMeter performance water temperature gauge. A roll cage adds a layer of security and style, making every drive feel purposeful and adventurous.

Under the hood, the heart of this Jeep is a 350 cubic-inch V8 crate motor from Summit, installed in 2015, delivering a strong 260 horsepower. The Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake manifold and chrome valve covers add both performance and visual appeal. A Holley single four-barrel carburetor feeds the beast, while an upgraded pulley system and Perma-Cool oil cooling keep things running smoothly. The rumble of the V8 combined with a Borg Warner T90 three-speed manual transmission and Dana Spicer twin stick transfer case offers a driving experience rich in control and raw power. Factory-style suspension and Dana axles maintain the classic off-road capability, completing this Willys Jeep's compelling performance package.
