Hello,
I just discovered this site! I've owned my '71 since I was 16 years old... it was my very first car and I've held onto it dearly ever since then. When my Dad first bought me the car it had a 351CJ, but the VIN says that it came with a 302. I've often thought that the engine may have been swapped by the dealer when new. In any case, I've fully restored mine and although I have the "original" 351CJ engine, I'm running a 10.2:1 408W forged stroker combo. I recently replaced the entire wiring harness with a Painless Wiring unit... resolving some serious electrical issues.
Glad to find some brethren!
