some pictures of the motor would help. from the looks of the hood it appears it was modified for a over head valve engine to fit under there.

no. 48-52 came with a flat head L-134 go devil. 2.2 could be from a Ford Pinto.

If no specs are available, there are tables on the 'net listing torque specs based on the bolt dimensions and thread pitch. These specs should provide a safe substitute.

Good find and congrats!

I knew it would be an F-134 when I saw the hood scoop. That was a common bubba mod done to old flat-fenders to allow the taller engine to bolt into the lower CJ-2 and CJ-3A jeeps. The F-134 was meant for the CJ-3B and CJ5 series jeeps. Also, the M38A1 had that engine.
