Looks great Bill. Hmmm...that transfer case looks really good. I like Atlas transfer cases

Has anyone run a Howell or Holley TBI on a CJ? A bunch of the scrambler guys do and strongly recommend it, but I haven’t driven one personally. If I’m going to swap one in, nows the time.

I haven't on a Jeep, but I don't want any engine without fuel injection.

That's about the only electronics I really like.

I would definitely go with fuel injection. I haven’t run the Howell (or Holley) TBI, but I have heard good things. I have run old style Holley carburetors, and they are kind of a PITA compared to newer technology.

Y'know, you really need one.

Do the TBI. Screw nostalgia. Fiddling with carbs sucks. You want to get in it and go have fun.

Thanks WCJ. Especially because I’ll daily drive it a ton going to Job sites, I’m really leaning in that direction.

Yeah, that’s what everyone keeps telling me. I think I’m going to go with the Howell. It seems a bit more straightforward than the Holley sniper

Yup. You’re right on both points

I installed a Howell TBI on my old CJ7 and thought it worked well. Easy install too. Here's a link to my old write-up

Howell TBI Throttle Body Fuel Injection Installation Jeep CJ Emissions

Replace your Carter BBD carburetor with a Howell TBI (throttle body fuel injection kit) on your Jeeps 258 engine and still be California smog or emissions legal.

That is one fresh Scrambler. The budgeting has been worth it and your dream is becoming an almost complete reality. Looks amazing.
