My Willys Jeep Build "Noob Needs Advice"
I plan on starting a Willys jeep build this year.. possibly Willys MB Jeep 1945 (it will depend on what i can get my hands on)
I want to start with the engine and tansmission. for something to work on in the house.
what engine do I want to look for? I am a total Noob to building one of these jeeps but i know there must have been a few different engines over the years..
question is what engine (model) do I want? also what transmission?
thank you

The "Go-Devil" Willys engine
if i am not mistaken The L134 or the F134 are my best choices. I guess it will come down to whatever i can get my hand on.

You can'y go wrong with either of the 134's. If you can get your hands on a L226 they work sweet!
That's the nice thing with these old Heeps, you can cobble anything up to work.

Cost$$$
What should i expect to pay for one of these engines in bad shape?
or a full rolling chassie with the complete drive train. everything but the tub
also I found out that a F134 will not work on a Jeep MB because its to tall. so I need an L134
