That CJ should work unless you get more radical with the suspension.
I think also that this 428 should be enough for now.
I bought that 429CJ engine from a wrecked motorhome. The seller did not know anything about this engine.
When I took apart I was really surprised on what I found.
These 429CJ 4 bolts are pretty rare engines.
According to the Marti report it was in a 71 Non Ram air Torino. What the h... it was doing in a wrecked '79 motorhome in Hungary??
