1954 Willys Project/Repower

[Steve Graham]

We started this on last 4th July holiday after stripping the J20 down to the bare frame. We took 25" out of the frame, welded it back up and ended up with about 105" wheelbase. Next came the SOA and adding the 14 body mounts. This Christmas holiday was the first test fit, hanging the engine in the engine bay and getting a feel for the fit with the fender and front grill on. I'll be fabricating the frame engine mounts next. After this it's just details... Ha, Ha.

4BT coolant inlet

Steve,



Where did you get your stright-line coolant inlet? I'm mounting my vacuum pump and A/C pump on that side of my 4BT and the serpentine belt interfers with the front facing inlet I have.

Sorry about the delay, had a extended holiday.

I looked for the part number for the lower coolent inlet but counld not find it. It's a Cummins part, ask to look at the 4B and other 6B parts books and should be easy to find.
