Combat 6
 

Hi old Jeep lovers.
I have located the remains of a CJ 5 with a Falcon motor in it and would like to determine if it is a genuine Combat 6. History of this vehicle indicates that a previous(25 plus years ago) owner was inclined to repower with ford motors, fitting larger falcon motors in 6 cylinder CJ5’s with ford motors and converting other 4 cylinder CJ5’s to falcon 250’s.
There is not much left, probably the only recoverable bit is the chassis. I was thinking that it would make a good long term project, as it suits other bits that I have lying around. The body is badly rusted and covered in numerous pop riveted patches but the seat frames and transmission cover appear good enough to provide templates to remanufacture.
Serial No. is 1134.
Any ideas?
Note, has a flat raised section on the middle of the curved section of the cowl half way between the windscreen and the bonnet. Didn’t take a picture but was about 1.1/2 by 3 inches. Can’t remember seeing this on a Jeep body before.

I have cj5 combat six, the firewall has a large cut out for the motor to poke through as well as a fiberglass trans cover. All the combat 6's I have seen have the cut out in the firewall and the fiberglass trans cover. See if I can post some pics. I can't find any of the cover that bolts on the inside of the firewall but these should give you an idea.

She’s not a Combat 6. Has a reasonably neet roundish hole in the firewall and a metal trans cover.
Thanks for your info.
