Please see Questions and Answers for some topics that frequently appear on this board. As you can see, this board loads rather slowly. If you are posting something for sale, please remember to include your location since someone who might otherwise be interested might not be able to use a part or a vehicle that is too far away. Posting your location when you're selling something that needs to be hauled will save everyone's time (and reduce the number of posts on this already too-slow message board). Thanks.

: The only thing I can think of that used the same tranny was the later model 3b and 5 engine the 134-f head. I had one in my 2a when I bought it but to make room for it you normally have to cut a hole in the hood or bubble it to make room for the air filter assembly. I'm not sure if it used the same bellhousing tho.

: I am in the middle of a v6 swap in that the fabrication for will be done this summer. It involved several adapters (all of which I got from advance adapters or 2nd hand from people on here or on willystech.com) When all is said and done I should have twice the HP with only adding 10-25 lbs up front.

: as a disclaimer tho,My jeep was a basket case frankenjeep when I got it with no id anywhere on it. so, I personally wouldn't suggest either way if you want a "correct for the period" setup

: my 2 cents

: : I have a 1948 CJ2A that the motor is getting weak, and i would like to put a more modern motor in..does anyone know if there is anything out there that will bolt up to the trany? thanks for any help you can give me

I have a Chevy 4-cylinder 151 cubic inch out of a '81 CJ5, I'm told they work real nice in a 2A. No hood-hole, or any of that, uses same adapter as a V8, light weight, not too much power, but a large power increase over what you have. If you're anywhere near northeast Colorado, give me a holler.
