65 hp? My Jeep beats that by a whole 5 hp  I'm thinking I'll put in for vacation and see what they save vs, just hoping.

Riley wants to know if theres any water there?

Hi Craig,

"Beats that by 5 hp"? Thought Jeeps had more than 60hp? or 70hp?

What year? and how much does it weigh?

[craig333]

I think the old flathead was rated at 60hp. I have the F-head. And my bad, I just broke out the service manual and it seems I'm mistaken. Its rated at 75hp. Its a 1960 but I think the engine was developed back the 40's. I haven't put mine on the scale but the manual states 2274 lbs. I do have to admit though, she's a screamer now that I upgraded to electronic ignition

Craig,

 

Tell Riley this is a desert rally. No water but there are rabbits, lizards and foxes to chase.

Now thats a compulsion!

compulsion or obsession?....Me my goal is to find a club or group of Jeeps that will let an old "Samurai" run with them.

Remove the maybe. My vacation request (somewhat surprisingly) was approved

Great news Craig. Are you bringing the Jeep?
