Description of 1982 Jeep Scrambler Novak 5.3L LS Conversion

This 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler recently received an extensive body-off restoration 2011–2014. Starting with a very clean original Scrambler body this Jeep was placed on a rotisserie and stripped to bare metal and painted in stunning Black. With its straight panels, factory correct body decals, and chrome accents, this Scrambler looks better than the day it left the factory. Photos and Receipts document the build out on this amazing Jeep.
Under the hood is a Novak 5.3L LS engine conversion utilizing a 23k mile, 2007 fuel-injected GM 5.3L LS engine. This conversion gives this Scrambler true seat of the pants modern performance.

A4″ Skyjacker Softride leaf spring kit and Skyjacker shocks were installed, while chrome wheels and fresh BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires enhance the trucks look. Locking hubs on the front axles help reduce driveline wear when in 2WD.
Over $12,000 was invested in the powertrain alone.
The factory-style interior presents a polished utilitarian look with black metal dash, and painted surfaces. All rubber components were replaced and present nicely. Doors were disassembled and painted, then rebuilt with new latches and rubber. The original front seats are in grea
