NOS L-134 Block Somerset, PA $3000

Tom shared this unique item.

l134-nos-block

“As pictured, likely the only one of its kind left, NOS straight from a Willys Jeep dealership parts inventory…

If you are doing a factory 100 point restoration, or if you just want to have a shortblock ready to go vs having to find and wait on a (more expensive) engine rebuild shop this is ready for you!

My dad and I bought this Willys Overland flat head, 4 cyl. Shortblock flathead engine years ago. It sure was an exciting find! It was still in its original factory crate which fell apart as we loaded it out of the dealership. (Somewhere I even have pictures of it the day we found it).

Fast forward years ahead, our 1946 CJ2A is a fine running Jeep and our other Jeeps use different engines. So, I either keep this as a spare, buy another Jeep project or find someone who can use this now. As a friend reminded me, I’ll be sorry to see this go as I’ll never find another brand new one again in my lifetime! I can load and deliver to new owner at the Ohio Jeep show coming up in mid May – Canton, Ohio.”

1962 F-head Starrucca, PA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.

Steve passed this engine along. It may be worth a look.

fhead-engine-pa7 fhead-engine-pa9

“Here is a running jeep motor I believe around 1962
That was used to power my Ford 821 tractor.
I removed the motor a few years ago when I began
a multi year project to restore it from a back hoe / loader
to a 841 tractor. The engine was running fine however, the
front engine pulley was not capable of running the pump
on the front end loader. It has been sitting inside my garage
ever since. The engine looks like the engine in my 62 Willys
Jeep CJ-5. It has the skid plate under the oil pan.

I cannot locate the timing cover as it was removed many years ago.”

1954 Kaiser Darrin 161 block Edison, NJ **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.

Steve spotted this block. Maybe someone can use it?

161-block-nj

“I have for sale a used 1954 6-cylinder Kaiser Darrin 161 CI (2.6L) Willys Hurricane F-head bare cylinder block. It has the main caps and does have some surface rust from sitting. It appears that the cylinders have been bored .020 over as they measure 3.30” from the standard 3.10” bore. Other than a broken exhaust manifold stud just ahead of the #2 exhaust port, this block doesn’t appear to have any issues at all and it has all 4 original main caps and bolts. I would like to get $100 for the block plus shipping if needed. Local pickup would certainly be preferred but I can ship via truck freight.”
