Default My ls1 powered---1952 ****** jeep restomod
I have done a full frame off resto on 1952 ****** jeep- it was an actual barn find lol I decided it needed a little more power so here are a few pics from the resto up to this point. The jeep in in paint this week, it will be olive drab green with the stars and all !! this is going to be a road only STREET JEEP with me in it it will only weigh 1600lbs so it should be pretty quick

MODS:
625 lift cam
4l80e trans
3200 stall
373 gears w/spool
hooker headers

If it's staying 2wd, you should pull that front axle and install a "gasser hotrod" style axle instead. Bet that is worth afew more pounds of weight saved.
