Welcome :)
1st. if you are placing an F head in, you will need to cut a hole in the orignal 48 hood for carb clearance..... F-heads are good engines, but were designed for CJ3B's that had a higher hood..
2nd. a good running L-134 would be a drop in, if it was for a CJ2A, and not a CJ3A....3A front engine plate is different...
sounds like you have a game plan.....post up some pics, many here will help/answer questions in any way they can :)
