I've looked into this before, and found issue with the height of the Suzuki OHV engine compared to the original side valve unit. If you want to keep it low, like a proper Willys, then some sort of bonnet bulge is required. If you don't mind it being a bit jacked up, then I'm sure this can easily be avoided.

I was sure somebody before me thought about the Willys MB body on an a SJ. Never went beyond the dream phase so the engine height issue is interesting.

Sorry Lambert. I'm with Busta on the "proper" Willys comment. I don't want it to look like it's supposed to be super charged. I don't even want it looking like one of the later M606 jeeps. But, as many wise people have said, where there's a will, there's a way.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
