    Man, builds like this really make me ashamed of my work.

    Beautiful Jeep and awesome execution.

    Any chance you are up for making a kit for us needing to rebuild our F/L heads and interested in going diesel?

    I work for VW and would love to have a ALH in my Willy's CJ5!

    There are ALH to AMC kits out there I think. If so, get that and convert your T90 to SBF and use a 76-79 bell-housing. Some other years might work too.

    Personally I’d mTDI it, but that’s how I roll.
