This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 4×4 has been extensively rebuilt and upgraded, now powered by a Blueprint crate 350 cu.-in. V8 paired with a built 700R4 automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. This CJ-7 features a Holley Sniper EFI conversion, upgraded axles with lockers, and a lifted suspension on 33” tires. Offered by a private party in Georgia with a clean title.
  • Blueprint SBC Stroker V8 Conversion: Powered by a Blueprint crate 350/383 stroker V8 with a performance cam, electronic fuel injection via Holley Sniper system, and HEI ignition. This setup replaces the original inline-six with significantly increased horsepower and torque, along with improved drivability and reliability.
  • Built Automatic Drivetrain: Paired with a built 700R4 automatic transmission and rebuilt Dana 300 transfer case. Axles include a Dana 44 rear with Moser axles, Eaton E-lockers, and 4.10 gearing, supported by new Spicer U-joints—creating a strong, trail-capable drivetrain.
  • Suspension & Off-Road Setup: Equipped with a 3.5-inch lift and riding on 33” Mickey Thompson Deegan M/T tires. Additional equipment includes a Warn winch and custom-fabricated rear bumper, reinforcing its capability as a functional off-road build.
  • Fuel, Cooling & Supporting Upgrades: Features a Holley Sniper EFI system, Champion 3-core aluminum radiator with fan shroud, new brake system and lines, and Stewart Warner gauges. These updates address common reliability and usability concerns in modified CJ builds.
  • Ownership & Condition: Current owner acquired the vehicle in 2022, with the majority of the build completed by the prior owner. Known issues include minor rust at the bottom of the door joints and through sections of the floorboards (approximately quarter-sized areas). Hard doors are in good condition; soft top and soft doors are new, while hard top condition is unknown.
About the 1986 Jeep CJ-7
The 1986 model year marked the final production run of the CJ-7, closing out Jeep’s original civilian Jeep lineage that began after World War II. Compared to earlier CJ models, the CJ-7 offered a longer wheelbase, improved stability, and more usable interior space, making it one of the most versatile and popular variants in the CJ lineup.

As the last of its kind before the introduction of the Wrangler YJ, the 1986 CJ-7 holds a unique place in Jeep history. Its simple body-on-frame construction, solid axles, and mechanical accessibility have made it a popular platform for modification, often receiving engine swaps, drivetrain upgrades, and suspension improvements like those seen here.
