Hey all,
Haven't posted on here in ages since the death of my '86 CJ7's engine. I'm looking into an '80 CJ5 today with the 4.2L I6 engine. It's been rolled on the highway and has some hood/windshield damage. Haven't looked at it yet but the engine is said to run fine and the frame would pass integrity (will get this checked before purchase). I'm looking into merging the parts off my CJ7 into this to amalgamate a nice vehicle I can build up. First off, will the hood/windshield parts and most other parts from a CJ7 onto a CJ5 or vice versa? My CJ7 has the small 2.5L 4cyl and is very rusty.
Also, I'm going to take a compression test of the I6 engine - what are some good numbers? I know they should all be within 5-10 of each other but just need a ballpark of decent #'s to watch for. My 4cyl has 3 cylinders around
130 and one in the 80's that's blowing smoke so I know that=bad.
Thanks!
