Rus Curtis- Thanks for the reply and information.  So, it looks like what I have is a CJ2A (1945-1949) frame and an F-134 Engine from a CJ3B.  The motor mounts being staggered rules out the frame being a CJ3A, or CJ3B.  You also state that the crossmember is from a CJ2A, though, I'm not sure of the difference.  I do understand that the engine would require a high hood to clear.  The motor mount adapter does not look like it will work in my application, but I have an Idea on how to fabricate one.  Regarding the engine numbers, I agree that the block was probably milled and the numbers were re-stamped.  Is it safe to assume that all (or most) F-134 parts are all the same, regardless of year?  Last question.  What's a combat rim?  The 16" green ones?  Are they valuable?  I have a different set of rims that I plan to use and probably will sell them.  And oh yea the block of wood stays in place while driving it.

Rus Curtis, thank you for the frame article.  Based on the fact that I do not have staggered frame mounts, it looks like the frame that I have is a CJ2A, or earlier.   Thoughts anyone?

Hello from Phoenix

I just inherited this rolling chassis/drivetrain from a neighbor.  No title.  It runs and drives.  I plan to fabricate a basic body, get all the mechanical dialed in and use it on the ranch.  Can someone help me identify the year/model of the frame and drivetrain so I can source the correct parts?  I was told that it originally had a flathead in it.  The engine has one motor mount flange facing forward  and one rearward and the frame mount attachment point does not line up on the drivers side with that on the engine.  The engine also has a dual action fuel pump, which i will not need because of lack of vacuum wipers.  Further explanation in attachments.  The frame has equidistant motor mounting points and are not staggered, which makes me believe from what I have read that the frame may be from a CJ2A, earlier? If that is the case, I may be on the wrong forum.  The engine number near the water pump is 53441.  Any help would be appreciated
