Willys 230_OHC Tornado Powertrain
$850 OBO Clinton MS
230 Up for grabs, early ’62 it says, would need some numbers off the unit to confirm. Some of these early ones are in need of some upticks. Recently I was able to compile all of the TSB that we gathered for the 230 into a nice document it was a really fun project getting those refreshed into a new format. It’s up on OWF you can search the tag 230_OHC and you will see most of my stuff over there related to the Tornado, so many knowledgeable folks over there have shared a ton of stuff with me very thankful.
I have too many of these around 12 or 13, so there is some value here, it does retain the original Air Cleaner, I had so many of those I was able to actually pay it forward and donate one to a really cool build. Then found homes for the rest, I have enough for my driving rigs.
But this actually retains the original bracket those I have never had an original but Tim out in CA was nice to hand make one for me from his and have that.
There are some very specific code words you will need to learn to get access to this one.

Before replying, please read this:
I’m getting lots of fake/bot messages on here lately. To show you’re a real local buyer:
1. Tell me specifically what you plan to use it for (jeep project, parts, rebuild, etc.).
2. Include the code phrase “Clinton Tornado guy” at the end of your message.
3. Mention when you could come pick it up (I’m usually free weekends).
I will ignore “Is it still available?”, short replies, or anyone who jumps straight to asking for my phone/email without answering the above.
Local cash buyers only in the Clinton area. No shipping, no trades, no out-of-state deals. Price is $600 firm but open to reasonable offers from serious folks.
More pics available upon real inquiry. Come check it out in person.
Thanks,
Wayne
