1946 cj2a dubbed mary jane
3.7l mercruiser with a t5
Cj5 dana 44 rear
Dana 35 converted into a beam from axle (removed pig)
Coilovers in front
Airbags in rear
305/65r17 in back and 30x9.5 in front
Also going to be making some beadlocks for the sprint car tires to swap onto the rear for dooones
Assuming i like everything, plan to hop up the merc in the future and shave weight on the engine. Aluminum bbf head shaves around 30#.
Figure i can drop about 20 off the rotating mass.
The secondary vibration from the pistons have me a bit worried to push too much power.
Just wrapped up the rear axle last night. Going to start putting the drivetrain together and prepping the front axle

I'm only 36.That's a really cool build!! I like that you are using the 3.7L. That's a really unique engine. (Ford 460 head, pistons, and connecting rods)

post #33 is only one I have at the moment. Had it mocked up on the stock rims/tires sitting on jackstands before putting it in the weeds for a while. gonna have to make a new floor. Too bad to be saved, so it will be reborn as a fun little hot rod.
Mary Jane comes from that vista green paint with just the right patina.

Got it welded up.
Ordering some steering components, then hopefully getting brakes on in the morning. Might hold off on tires until all put together. Hoping I don’t need new calipers
Also buying some land rover radius arms for the rear
