I'm in Spokane Valley, WA. I picked up a father-son JEEP project about three weeks ago from a field... the 1962 Jeep Gladiator factory 2 wheel drive has the 305 V6 mated to the T-98 4 sp.

It was a Forestry Dept. rig and I'm pretty sure they did the conversion since it is a pretty clean installation overall.

So far, I changed the plugs, wires and the Holly 500 CFM 2 bbl carb. The guy I bought it from put on new fuel pump to get it running because he wanted my son and I to be able to dive the project home.

Were keeping the engine in the jeep since it is a shocker to see one in a jeep. So, if you all don't mind, I'd like to hang out here and keep up with the latest info on the engine since most jeep guys thought I was wrong about having a GMC 305 V6, they thought I meant a standard SBC.

I've got plenty of pics and even a video, or two.
Welcome to the club:

Sounds like an interesting conversion.
Sure looking forward to the pics, more info. and
you guys enjoy the new toy.

I think I'll fix it myself, and pay the extra $500.
