Story about the Jeep 225 V6

"An interesting note about the Jeeps and Buick V6's is drawn from the story of Hayes Brothers Jeep in Salt Lake City. Hayes began installing several crate V6's into new Jeeps. In time, Jeep took notice and sent a development team to Utah to see the conversion process, which included the removal of the 134 c.i. engine, the installation of the engine mounts and a bellhousing to T90 transmission adapter.

The engineers drove one of the Jeeps up into one of the Salt Lake valley canyons and charged up one of the flanks. They were impressed. In 1966, the Buick 225 Dauntless V6 became the horsepower option, finally pushing the Jeep into the muscle era. The 1966-71 225 c.i.d. was optional in CJ5's of those years."
