Also I would argue that these 401s could probably keep up with your 5.7 for mileage and power

Power yes but not mileage. But what that costs compared to what I have in mine, there's no contest. And you still can't get parts for it most anywhere.

First is a crew cab J truck with brow, razor grille, short bed, and a modern drive train. 6.0, 6l80e, atlas transfer case, and Dana 60 axles with coilover 4 link front suspension. The second one is a 78 Cherokee S wide track built similarly to Greg H's blue Cherokee. Mustang 2 front end, linked rear, Nissan RB25 or Toyota 2JZGTE compound turbo and 6 speed tremec magnum. The Cherokee I'm in the process of building but with more attainable goals like a crown vic front end, NA-T 2JZ, and probably not a tremec or compound turbos.

When I paint my truck I plan on the dark green that you see on some CJ7’s and I think you could get it on SJ’s too? Correct me if I’m wrong about the second part, I’m not sure.
