This one or next? Seems like a pretty ambitious project to have done in a couple of months. That is, unless you've quit your day job to devote all your time to the jeep.

You know, I have never thought about the concept of putting a diesel in a Jeep before. I think it would be really cool to have one with an old Chevy 6.5 in it.

looks like a cj5 so a even a stock 4 would be ok.... i dont understand why people don't run a newer jeep 4 or straight 6...
Its a 1946 willys cj2a and i wish it had the original engine but that's long gone the reason for vw lump is easy to fix lots of torque and the obvious reason its a VW

Just for future reference, I have a little history summary of this model here:
I bought a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon in May of this year. The used car dealer near my house got this in from a local honda dealer that took it in trade. As soon as I saw the color I knew I had to have it. I thought I threw a lot of parts at the rc's but...

My brother bought an electric lime green Rubi back when they were first released and had nothing but problems with it. He broke three front outer axles that were luckily covered under warranty after fighting with the dealer. The lockers only worked...
