I'm in the process of purchasing a 77' CJ5 out of Montrose CO. Looking forward to it. I was bummed have to sell my 79'CJ5 this summer. It had a V8 and a 3 speed. I replaced the 401 intake and 4 barrell carter carb that the PO had put on my old 79' with a stock 2 barrell intake and motorcraft 2150 carb. I did the Team Rush upgrade on it as well. I really enjoyed working on it and making it better. The 77' that I'm purchasing has the 258 and T18 tranny. Here are a couple pics of the engine bay that the owner sent me today. Looks like it has a Offenhauser intake and headers on it. I can't tell what carb is under the air cleaner. Maybe the stock Carter? If it is, I'd like to change it over to a Motorcraft 2100. I will be doing the Team Rush upgrade on this one too. I will have to get a Reman distributor from a 79' 258 to do the upgrade. I'm not familiar with the Offenhauser intake or having headers. What are some opinions on these, and can anyone tell what carb it is from the linkage visible in the pic?
Thanks,
Dave
