Good morning all,
Thanks for the add. I am new to the 3a world but very well versed in the 2a's. Not much difference. Currently semi restoring my grandfather's 2a and just picked up a 50 3a. I am working on a deal on my other grandfather's 3a. None of my 10 vehicles are show vehicles. I use them all. I am also going to be working on a 1958 ford f100. I am playing the motor swap game. My 2a is getting a 47 flathead v8. The 50 3a will probably get one of my 272 y-blocks. I have a sbc that would fit nicely but everyone does that and I like odd engines. Planning on divorced transfer cases in both jeeps unless I can get my hands on the right transmissions. I have a transmission for my flathead and I am going to see if I can adapt it. I am a machinist and welder by trade so I think I can make some adapters. OK well I am still healing from foot surgery so back to relaxing. Thanks again for the add. Glen

Hey from Twin Falls..

Hello from a bit north. Sounds like some interesting projects. Not sure how one would get a divorced transfercase in any of the 80 or 81" wheelbase Jeeps and still have anything resembling a rear driveshaft. I believe the shortest V8/4 speed remains a sbc/SM465/D18 with Novak's adapter.
That and when it comes to swap engines, I'm all for ubiquitous-sbc or not. I see little utility in a swap where you can't find parts and/or those parts a very expensive.
Personally, I look a small block Chevy's as the worlds greatest Lego set. Literally 1000's of ways to put them together and tailor them to your specific needs.
