Motor Mount Adapter: Due to the
similarity of CJ-2A engines they are often installed in
CJ-3As. The biggest obstacle to this swap is the different location of
the drivers side motor mount. One of the
improvements made to the CJ-3A over the CJ-2A was a vacuum booster on
the fuel pump. This allowed the windshield wipers to operate while at
full throttle. This change required a different engine front plate to
allow the larger fuel pump to fit. The new plate required a different
motor mount location and therefore a different vehicle frame. The 1949
CJ-2A,
CJ-3A Parts manual lists an adapter to allow later CJ-3A frames to be
used as a service replacement frames for CJ-2As. This adapter must
relocate the CJ-3A drivers side motor mount point to the rear for the
CJ-2A
engine. The part number is 647913 Adapter, engine mounting
bracket .
Key Start 6 Volt Conversion Starter:
From the WillysTech mailing list comes this information. "David
mentioned a while back that he heard that autolite starter MZ4163 could
be used on a kick start type jeep to convert it to a key start. I
have confirmed that this is indeed true. The MZ4163 has 9 teeth
to mesh with the stock 124 tooth flywheel on kick start jeeps from
1949-1952 with stock starter without a bullnose." This starter can be
used on CJ-3As to replace a kick start starter MZ-4137 or MZ-4162 from
1949 to 1952 through serial number 452-GB1 30973.
