Re: 76 CJ5
Hi Bill,
The AMC blocks look the same, but their water jackets must adjust
for different cylinder wall thickness. That's why we may see which it is
by reading the core number under the driver's side mount:

I have the Superior Gear one-piece axles. They replace Moser one-piece axles
that came with ball bearings. The Superior Gear uses tapered roller bearings
that are rated thousands of pounds higher. In interest of full and fair
reporting, Moser axles now use the same bearings as Superior Gear axles.
(Well, the bearings may differ, but they are roller bearings, not ball
bearings.)

No, not the entire Jeep, just the axles. Yes, it's a narrow track.
Actually, there are two tracks of CJ, both of which are narrower than the
YJ. You need to get YJ out of your mind or you're gonna go crazy trying to
make the comparisons all of the time.

Re: 76 CJ5
If it doesn't have electronic ignition it's easy enough to add, both of
my Studebakers have electronic ignition and it's a cinch that wasn't
installed in South Bend in 1959!
