Actually: A CJ's not a 427. Watch that oilpan.

By Dave Shoe - 07/30/2003 10:59:00 AM; IP 12.2.11.131

You will have more issues with oil starvation at the end of the strip than overreving, particularly if you do not have the later CJ with the factory recalibrated dipstick. Be sure you are familiar with oilpan precautions and recommendations, especially if you have an aftermarket oil pump or oil passage modifications.

Aftermarket oil pumps have killed countless FEs due to excessive draining of the 5-quart oil pan. Keep an eye on the oil gauge - any drop in the traps suggest insufficient oil capacity.

A search string might be "starvation" or "sucking air", if you seek more info.
