CJ3B, project for sure. Again short cut for those in the know.

The value here is probably in the sum of the parts.

SBC with center dump manifolds sure makes it easier for the exhaust.

Can really see why the louvers are needed in the hood, luckily this is probably underpowered for a V8 swap looks fairly basic.

Has the start of power brakes which something better then stock 9″ will be needed for sure.

Has some neat accessories.

Here is a breakout for folks who may not be 100% familiar with all these parts or what’s going on here.

On a standard no accessories Transfer Case there is a small tin cover on the drivers side, pop that off and this allows for some neat options, and in this case multiple options.

One thing needed is to count the teeth on the gear under that cover, early ones are 26 tooth (26T) later are 29 tooth (29T). So not all parts are equal, buyer beware.

The emergency brake is also off the back of the TC where the rear drive shaft comes out. Fairly standard stuff there.

The SBC will also have a special bell housing adapter and the front bearing retainer on the transmission will be special for a SBC conversion, so you will want to grab all those stuff when your picking SBC adapters, would require a long input shaft as well vs the short 4cyl one. (None of this is shown here)

So as much of a project this one is, there is alot going on to pay attention to, and it could all be in very poor shape, but it looks fairly complete.

    Pretty cool chain drive and sprocket setup he’s got going there sending power to the front winch and also looks like something going to the back of jeep. Also has the overdrive to PTO adapter needed to make it all happen
