Chevy 350 V8-Powered 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
This 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler features a restomod with a military makeover and a powerful Chevy 350 small-block V8 engine. Equipped with 37-inch Mastercraft Courser MXT tires on 17-inch steel wheels, the vehicle is built for off-road capability. The powertrain is enhanced with an Edelbrock intake and carburetor, connected to a Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission. Suspension upgrades include Fox shock absorbers with remote reservoirs. The exterior is styled in olive drab green with military stencils and features heavy-duty steel bumpers, an A-bar with a 9,000-pound winch, and steel fenders. Inside, the setup is minimal, with tan vinyl seats, four-point harnesses, and a unique hand-grenade shifter.
