Both my CJ2A and CJ5 have the V6 mounted in the same location relative to the front axle, both are using Jeep 225 oil filter mounts. I don't think there is any way the front axle could ever hit the oil filter, oil pump, pulley or any other part of the engine. On my CJ2A I did lower the front axle snubbers by 1" but this was to reduce tire/fender rubbing when crossed up not because of engine clearance. Engine location in the 2A is as follows: front to back, from the front face of the harmonic balancer (the surface the pulley bolt on to) to the rear surface of the front crossmember is 9". Up and down, if you lay a straight edge across the top of the fenders it will also rest on the top of the valve covers at the front of the engine. I forgot to check side to side (I can measure if you want) but it's not centered, offset to the drivers side for drive shaft clearance. Positioned like this the drivers side valve cover will be right against the corner of the firewall. I reshaped, (read hammer work), the firewall for clearance. This firewall mod is the same thing the factory did to the CJ5 when they put in the V6. Bill 47cj2a Chuck Pedretti wrote:
