If you can ID my Transmission I'd appreciate it. It's my first restore. I'm learning. See attached pics. Thanks to anyone who can help a rookie.

That looks like a T-176 , although I didn't think they came in a five speed. Tremec T176 | Tech Vault | Advance Adapters
here is the other site I used to identify the Transmission when I went to buy another one Woody's 4x4 | Transmissions
The difference on site of the T-176 and T-5 ... T-176 has a bolt on butterfly pattern, the stick has a single bend, to the rear, the stick comes out of the middle of the tranny. T-5 /T-4 has two bends in stick, the stick originates from the rear of the tranny.

I agree, looks like a T-176 . I see what looks like the backup light switch in the 2nd pic behind the rag, which would point to T-176 . The T-5 backup light switch is on the driver's side of the Transmission . T-176 it's on top like the one pictured.
Everything else says T-176 to me too, but that's kinda the deal sealer.
OP. when you say 5 speed, do you mean 4 forward/ 1 reverse?

Does this pic help? Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Is that a switch in the driver side? Still figuring all this out.

You will be needing one of these as well. Keeps most of the water out anyway...

Hey, thanks for sharing what you know. Boot will be ordered. Now, I have to put the engine back together.......with the scattered parts I have in a plastic tub. Any recommendations for a good starter?

I use autozone starters and alternators. They're cheap, they work, and they have a lifetime free replacement, and since they're easy to take replace, and I have a spare of each in the shop, I'm good to go.
Now were I taking my Jeep way out in the wilderness, I'd get a new NAPA or mean green etc, but since mine are normally within 20 miles of the house, I got cheap ones with a good warranty. Actually so far they've held up great. but I could have just gotten lucky.
