Awesome time to do an interior overhaul to match the engine!

lol.. believe it or not, that already has an interior overhaul... everything is either NOS or aftermarket, custom built leather seats front and rear, new carpet, headliner, all custom gauges and fabbed aluminum trim... not a heck of a lot more you're going to do with an '88 jeep cherokee that spends half its time crawling over rocks or bathing in mud...infact, I'mthinking of taking out the seats and putting in el chepo repos.. tired of scraping off mud and dust from the leather..

Your Jeep has a great sound to it now. Bet it gets up and goes too.

3100 pound vehicle, in stock form the l98 put out 230hp/330 lb/ft tq... I've added heads, headers, dual exhaust, cam, intake , msd, blah blah blah.. I'm guessing I'm somewhere around 280ish hp, 350ish tq... about the same wt/pwr ratio as a later model c4.
