This custom Jeep is being built by Blue Ribbon Auto Restoration<\/a>. The project starts with an aluminum Jeep CJ2 body from Aquala Industries<\/a> sitting on a custom aluminum chassis with Corvette C6\/C7 fully independent suspension. Power will be generated by a supercharged 5.3 L L83 V8 (5th gen) with LT1 crank and rods, custom pistons, upgraded camshaft, and Whipple supercharger. Power will be sent to the rear 345 tires through an 8L90E eight-speed automatic transmission and 2017 Camaro IRS rear end. View more photos of the project in the FB build album<\/a>.<\/p>\n
