But the CJ could be a 1971 Firebird with 3.42 gear and locking dif.
Or 1973 A or G body with 3.42 gear and locking dif.
Or 1977 A or G body with 2.56 gear and locking dif.

And if you had my luck it would be the 2.56 gear rear.

3.42 is what it feels like driving on the freeway, at 65 mph I’m just a little shy of 3K rpms with BFG 245/60 14’s. Definitely not 2.56, I’d be driving 90 with those lol. I’ll see what gears are in it this week.

Maybe the width end to end will shine light on whether it’s from a 2nd gen F body, or a later A/G. This could help me locate the casting number.

It does have some welding shenanigans on it after all, I can’t imagine these pointy mounts came on anything factory from GM.

Man, I hope you plan to grind that down. I’d hate to be working under there and hit my head on that!
