    Thank you for welcoming me to the forum! I am here asking for a little help, contacts, specs, on an engine build. Thank you.

    A little background, I'm a trail runner out west, nothing too serious, just like the miles of wide open. Story goes I thought I was finished with the resto on my 64 Gladiator, but, had to get a new head because it cracked. Part of the deal turned out to be grabbing up a second Tornado 230 OHC.

    What to do with it? Forum folks helped me find the Holy Grail of Tornados. Hm. Why not make this one like that one? Ok. Plan is to build a tribute engine to the Chuchua Tornado.

    Is it possible to point me in the right direction for contacts, specs, parts lists for the engine in my avatar?

    Thank you.

    Sounds like a fun project! I bet someone on the forum has info on the Chuchua Tornado. I remember seeing that picture of it in the past.

    Yessir. we all need a plan b for if we get kicked out of places! I'm hopeful someone has a parts list and some schematics scribled on a 1960's "dew drop in" napkin. Excited about this build. This Tornado was in an early CJ, just sayin.
