Boyink! - Spring Forward on the Web

Pics of the motor mounts used to place the 4.3 Chevy.  I can’t recall if these were Advance Adapters or Novak Products.

   Michael,
   I wrote you once before.  I got myself a 64 CJ6A(the red one you have pictured on your site), going to pick it up this week.  I’m thinking real hard about swaping in a 4.3L and a 700R4 transmission, just like you did.  Have you written your method up?  Have pics?  If you did it again what would you do different?  etc.  I would love to see and read about how the whole project went.

   Thanks
   Scott

   Hi Scott -

   Well, actually I chickened out and bought SSDutch with the 4.3 Chevy and T18 4-speed manual tranny already installed.

   Check in on http://www.earlycj5.com site, in the forums.  There’s a couple of guys doing the 4.3 swap there - actually a live thread today by user Mruta.  He’s not doing the 700R4 as it’s in a “shortie Jeep”..;) but the folks there can be much more helpful than I can.

   I do have other pics of the 4.3 install here on the site:
