Update: Wow!!!  Five months ago I said that the 3B was finished. Here it's the end of October and after four engine swaps it is running very well. The 231 Odd FIre is really strong. What a super fun little jeep.

Well the 3B is finished. I guess it's time to do the 2A.

    You might have a good point there. I'll check it after some time and if there's an issue I'll clean things up and drill a hole. Thanks for the positive feedback. It's been challenging at times but always rewarding. It not the destination but the journey.

My back bumper and spare tire carrier is almost finished. It's coming out pretty good.

Back to the build. I'm attaching a few pictures of the problems I had to overcome. The bellhousing needed a little more room. Also the engine being farther back wouldn't allow the emergency brake cable to go into it original location. I routed it around the transmission mount and up through the floor to the brake handle pictured.

The transmission/transfer case was pretty loud so I checked the gear oil and found lots of metal. I'm in the process of switching them out with a spare I've had in the corner for a while. Just waiting for the seals and a few other parts to put it back together.
Rebuilding both should be a good project for next winter.

Rus I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to find one.   Here is the web site where I ordered from.   https://somarmotor.com/bikini-top-for-cj3b-spice/

Looking for a CJ3B half cab with the doors. Closer to Colorado is better than farther.

I installed a 1975 Buick 231 odd fire. With the Sanderson headers and Flowmaster mufflers it runs pretty good

I looked for a long time to find an affordable set of four. They are original forged aluminum from the mid 70s Levi's edition. Now I'm looking for one more for my spare.

I'm not sure you can ever be finished.
