This 1979 Jeep CJ5, owned by fincj5, has an estimated 340 horsepower. All of this truck’s torque and power comes from a stout 350 full race cam propane powered engine. To complete this CJ5’s powertrain, a sm465 transmission is used. With the help of a 1.5 spring over with 45degrees on shocks for travel suspension, this Jeep is a real off road machine. Check out some of the pictures and ratings for this 4WD below, as well as other info about this ride.
