Default JK without motor wanted.

Hey guys. I know this is the wrong section for this thread but i want to buy your JK or possibly JKU that does not have a powertrain. My father an I are looking to do a 383 stroker swap. We have the engine and an SM 22 trans that was meant for a CJ5 but we decided against 406HP in a CJ5. I live in Michigan but am willing to travel long distances to pick up. Any lead would be great. Sorry for posting here but the modified area gets more traffic than the classifieds and i guess this would be quite the modification haha. Thanks for your help.

Heres the motor. She looks real eager to get under a jeep hood.

seems like a waste to make something that won't be emissions legal.

I'd say look for a wrecked JKU. I'd assume with 406 ponies, you're going to make this beast HUGE so you'll probably want that extra wheelbase. Won't be street legal, presumably due to emissions, but would be one bad boy trailer toy!

Regulations vary state by state, and even by county. Depending on where you live, you can be perfectly street legal.
