Ok I thought the 232 was the original engine out of the red car. If you get parts like water pumps and simple engine parts like that, tell the parts guy it's for a '75 Jeep CJ-5. It makes getting parts so much easier. The CJ-5 uses the short water pump.

O.K. first day off and checking new parts
well time to deal with the broken exhaust manifold bolt , just drill a hole down the center of the bolt than easy out it out right.. not quite 4 hours later it's going to be a helicoil. The first hole ( pilot hole ) went great second hole the bit broke off in the broken bolt
well like they say if it was so easy every one would do it , found the remains of another helicoil down in there what a day maybe I'll get some parts on tomorrow

That new fuel pump looks cool but I like I'd have to take it back and get one for a CJ-5. It's the same one you pulled off. Well, the new pump looks vintage so I might see if it will work. That new exhaust manifold looks great. That sucks having that bolt broke off in the head though. It maybe easier just to drill the hole completely out, retap it, and use a bigger bolt .

Well I took the old (new) fuel pump back and got another one this one is good just alittle more compact. my block # is 306E12 this broke down as 3 = 1970 06 = June E = 232ci
and 12 = 12th day of June so then I got a list of everything a 232 was in in 1970 and the fuel pump he had on the shelf was for a Javilin
once that was solved the rest of the day went pretty good, helicoil in, exhaust and intake installed, fuel pump , dizzy in , plugs and wires, all went well
the rest of my week off I'll be working on garage clean up and rearange things, also told a couple of members I'd check on some parts off the Red parts car for them. then of course the engine bay and motor mount issue.. wish me luck I sure would like to get that motor back in the bay and off the floor this week. Its cold here, and hard to paint, open up the door turn on the fan for vent and the 65 + heat in the garage is lost to about 40 or lower in no time. gota love the winter time..

Wow Brandon, that motor looks sharp! Nice work. I'm glad to see you got that broken bolt out. I hear you about the winter time, it's keeping me out of the shop (unheated shop). The engine with that long transmission will be fun to get in the engine bay. It's a tight squeeze believe me, I've done it. As soon as I painted my engine, I slipped it in the car and let the transmission sit on the crossmember ( make sure the trans. crossmember is out of the way when you stab the engine and tranny. It will be in the way if it's still on the car) and put wood blocks between the motor mounts and the engine crossmember. Once it's in there, you'll see what you need to do with the motor mounts. I had to put the engine as far back as possible for the fan to clear the radiator. I was going to ask earlier so I'll ask now, how did you take the driveshaft off? Did you undo the big nut or did you just disassemble the u-joint under the car? I like how quickly you're getting things done. Stay at it and you'll be driving it in no time.

Hey Ramblinfsj, Thanks man I'll keep after it to be sure. lets see, the crossmember is out, and the drive shaft is just hanging there. when we pulled the motor the drive shaft just slips out of the tranny. On the old red parts car we took the big nut off and removed it. made things easier when we pulled the rearend out.
Can't hardy wait to get her moving under her own power. It'll be a while but worth it in the end. after the engine bay is done and the motor is back in, it's going to be brake work time.
it has none,zip,nada. not even an E-brake, so that has to be done before the first test drive.
