1974 CJ5, Stock. Want to fix it up and drive it. Engine and Transmission work fine, body ruff. Frame is very good.
Trying to decide if it is easier t just replace tub, than try and repair all of the problem areas in original body, i.e.. bad floorboard, tailgate, side panels , windshield bracket, you get the idea.
I have a motor stand and am trying to get the brackets to line up with the mounting holes on my 6 cyl. 1974 CJ5 motor. I cant seem to make them line up. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this kind of problem. Thought while I put a new tub on it I may as well rebuild the motor.
Thanks
 
depending on the stands some bolt right up and some are a PITA. I have 1 of each. loosen every thing up. tighten the motor bolts then tighten the bolts on the stand.. it will take some playing with.
 
I will give both ideas a shot. Thanks
 
Be sure the stand is designed to handle a 6 cylinder. They are normally longer than a V8 and when built out on the stand there is a lot more weight out at the end and it could make the motor stand unstable.
Might be a toe breaker.
