Gary has his recently rebuilt engine & bellhousing for sale.  He’s moving up to a V6 in his CJ-5.

“The 134F head I have in my Jeep is for sale. I have all the receipts for the engine kit, crankshaft etc. It will come complete with a GM 12 volt alternator, bellhousing with new clutch and pressure plate, factory exhaust from front to back, and I just had the original carb rebuilt by Guaranteed carburetors. It has the electric ignition that looks like the original. It is in the jeep and anyone interested can crank run/drive etc. The mileage on the engine is 2,600 miles. I am asking $1400 dollars. I would like to sell prior to taking out, that way someone knows what they are getting.”

L-134 Little Falls, NJ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Engine This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

This might work for someone.

“L134 Engine block, it was running when I took it out of the jeep about 6 moths ago. The guy I bought the jeep off of said he had the engine rebuilt about 10 years ago and just used it for plowing, so the jeep sat alot. The engine is free and will turn by hand, not seized. The number on the Engine bossbehind the water pump is either MJ2915 or MT2915. I really can’t make it out. On the head there is a stamp that says 6-48. Im not sure how old the engine is but is definetly not a Willys MB motor. Most likely out of a CJ2A or CJ3A. I took the valve cover off and it is pretty clean inside. I did not take off the head. There is no cracks or breaks in the block. It is in pretty good shape. I cracked the plastic timing gear trying to remove the engine plate. Other than the attachements on the motor, everything internal is complete and has not been touched”

Identifying A Strange Looking Engine Block

• CATEGORIES: Engine, Features, How To This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Brian wrote me asking if I knew what type of engine this was.  He pulled it out of a old WWII Jeep and didn’t recognize it.  He wrote that the Head cast was #634816 and the block casting#630282. In particular, he noted the exposed cylinder tubes.

I told him I didn’t know what it was, and confessed that I had never worked with any MB/GPW motors, but I would do my best to figure it out (I do enjoy a good internet hunt). After searching through various images I could see it was similar to a MB and GPW motor, but was also different.

For example, you can see examples of GPW heads here at Dino’s site and though it looks similar, it’s missing various features.  Here is an example of MB block.  In fact, if you go here, you can review all kinds of WWII engines.

After trying various keyword images searches, I tried typing in the casting numbers and that is when I discovered that the head was a pre war head from a Willys Model 37. So, then I looked at prewar Willys.  On this page http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/wocv/willywilly/willywilly.htm on the fourth pic down, you can just make out, just below the distributor, similar indentations on a 1938 Willys.  Here is a better look at a prewar block.
