    Hi Kind folks;

    I'm looking for some help detailing an original/unmolested CJ5/6 engine compartment, particularly the firewall and motor mounts. Can anyone help?

    Thanks a bunch.

    There's a guy near me too, but not sure how "original/unmolested" it is. Was a former CT highway dept vehicle. Remember, the OP bought his from VT, on RT 30 in Townsend. Not the same guy I know. The guy I know was on here as "puttputt" last activity was back in '07....

    SIDSCJ, its the same guy (Wayne) we are talking about, I bought my body from him. I only saw it once quickly, so I don't know how good it was.

    This guy sent me pics from his original cj perkins 2 years ago(Which I can's find now)
    He is in British Columbia, Canada
    E-mail James Shea @

    irishnewf@telus.net

    Hope he can help - Like to see some pics when your done the perkins options is extremly rare.

    I bought a perkins out of a CJ6 and have got as far as running it and putting it in a cj frame and running gear.
