Thanks for the replies! A relative of mine restored a 1966 V6 CJ something (I was too young to know exactly what) and I remember learning some choice new words thanks to that "out of the box failure" you described :)
As for the diesel, my uncle has a '47 CJ2A that used to be my grandfather's way back when. Its a gorgeous vehicle (luzon red, I think), mostly original, all jeep. Anyhow, he's gotten it in his head that he wants to put a V8 in it (no details as to what kind yet) so I'm going to watch carefully and see how he fits something like that in the engine compartment and maybe gain some insight into doing a diesel transplant. The reason I'm so keen on the diesel is that there's a place that carries Bio Diesel not too far away, and I'd like to start to try that out, maybe even try to home-brew some (although it may be too late this year).
Anyhow, thanks again for the quick replies, and don't be surprised if my questions get more complicated and desperate as the project picks up speed.
Thanks again,
K
