The rebuild kit for the 2 barrel is fairly easy to do, and you could save the dough.... but if ya got some cash, and like making that CJ leap a little, go with the Edelbrock Torker intake, and their 550 cfm 4 barrel. You will love the increase in torque and hp. And, if, and this is a BIG "if", you can keep your foot out of the back barrels, your mpg will go up. Did this on my old CJ5, actually, rebuilt the 2 barrel first then upgraded the following year. However, between the 4 barrel, and the headers with the flowmasters, I did not have the disipline to always get the improved mpg Loved the sound and sensations!
Fun days with a fun machine
