The 9.25" clutch was a post 1961 option on CJ5 and CJ6 jeeps with the 134F head like you have, In all the cases I have seen the flywheels were just additionally drilled for the larger clutch. Allowing you to use either. Of course you would need the whole shebang Disc and Pressure Plate and of course you should do the Pilot bearing (in the back of the crank) and Throw out bearing at the same time. As well as having a machine shop dress up the flywheel if you want the longest life out of the new clutch.

By the way I am upgrading to the larger clutch. Luckily I already had the later bellhousing and was able to find a flywheel reasonable.

Hi, My cj3a came with these changes, along with a 12 volt system. I thought it was a 56 because of the clutch size but didn't  want to order the Wong thing. Thanks for your help. al
