Title says it, I've got a '55 Willys (parts) truck and a '56 that had a 'Super Hurricane' 6 cylinder with a cracked block.
In a warehouse, I've found this flathead Ford motor that I can have, for the price of picking it up.
I see lots of conversions saying I'll need an adapter, and with the parts Willys I have a shot 302 and a V-8 adapter. I'd be really surprised if that'd work...but thought I'd mention it.
Stock T-90 trans in the buildable Willys, so a V-8 will blow it (parts car has blown 2'nd from the 2 bbl 302)
I've also got a T-19 and a Dana 20 from an IH Scout sitting, as well as a complete front diff from the Scout.
Not sure how far I want to go...Thinking easiest as there are other demands on my time and I tend to lose interest.
Maybe rebuilding the flathead during the winter would be a cool thing.
TIA, guys.
Mike
