I wanted it stock, but the more my buddy and I get into it it so 'dented' that I dont want to do the body work. Its very solid, just 'dented' So I am not going to be hurt making some changes. I will likely smooth the body as good as possible and paint it with navy markings to honor my grandfather, despite it not being a military jeep, 90% of people wont know and the others will laugh at me :sonicjay:
lucky. I really want to build a cj3a. Your is close enough to get my attention. I gotta ask is that a typo you are doing SOA front and putting tj coil springs in the rear ? Interesting.

ran into a snag tonight... the T4 I have is a one year only that has a spline count of 14, versus the 10 spline input of my T14. Not a huge deal, I just need a new clutch which I should do anyway,
The T14 is going to need WAY more modification then I thought to adapt it to the 60* bellhousing. We were hoping we could drill some holes and bolt it up.
The T14 to D18 bull gear is a 2 year only part and hard to find... (or $70 new)
The jeep will also get a small body lift to make up for the added height of the 150 CID 4 cyl
sooooooo need to scrounge up more parts. The t4 is way too long too if I dont want to stretch the jeep out a lot... and to put a D18 on a T4 it requires a $500 adapter I guess
There is a foreign auto parts across the street from the old DADS 4x4... I was told a Volvo radiator may work :naughty: just have to check the locations of the input/output
The guy in front of me was taking forever, they had an idiot working the intercomm last night... so I got out checked the load, took the pics, got back in and STILL waited 5 mins to order :sonicjay:
I think they spit in my Pepsi because I started being a little bit of a dick when I had to repeat "#1 with a Pepsi" 9 times
Wow this thing is already taller then expected... the front and rear are both SUA and those are a true 32" tire... I think its taller then my YJ (though that is not saying much)
i wish i could find one of these in decent shape like that one so i could puts around town in it. arent there different hood styles with one being taller so its easier to do motor swaps?

The CJ3B was a flatfender with a taller hood, it had an F head motor, versus the L-head in the CJ2A. The hood was raised on the 3B to clear the carburator.
You can fit other motors in a 2A using a 1" body lift (which I would recommend as the original rubber bushings are strips of rubber ~1/8" thick (not quite) If you can weld you may be able to get another motor in without a body lift even.
