I see the photo was posted while I was typing.

The wheels are riveted together. The rivets can be removed and the centers moved to change the offset. Do so at your own risk. They should be welded by a competent welder. Getting them true is not easy. I'm sure the safety nazis will forbid you do this. There is an official photo of an M37...

For what it's worth, I read this on the internet. The stationary motors have a pump or governor for running constant RPM's, and do not peform well in vehicles. I do not know this for fact, or if your project is a vehicle.

Maybe you missed the big yellow banner at the top of the screen. If you don't apply an autogenous banishment, at least give yourself a stern 'dressing down'.

Isn't it against the site rules to post active auctions?

It really seems to come down to what a person is familiar with. I'm familiar with Jeep and Dodge engines, so I would install one of those before a Chevrolet motor. I put a 258 Jeep six in mine, because I know what parts would fit with minimal work. Having a rebuilt motor on hand also factored...

M38A1/CJ5 have 3 or 4 more inches in the wheelbase compared to flatfender Jeeps, if I remember right.

Do you really expect us to believe that part? :lol:

I don't put much stock in any fuel mileage claims. People tend to lean towards the optimistic side when reporting fuel mileage.

You will enjoy the extra power, especially if towing anything.

The bellhousing to engine block bolt pattern is different between big and small block Dodges, as Bob pointed out. Somewhere in the early 1970's big blocks went from internal balance to external balance, requiring the correct flywheel or torque convertor. I cannot remember the exact year right...

If the starter motor is pulling to many amps, it could also cause a weak spark. Is the Jeep 6 volt, or 12 volt?

Some lighter duty Ford 1 1/2-ton type trucks used 18" wheels into the early 1960's. Most likely the same bolt pattern, larger than M37/M101 pattern.

If you talk to the DOT you will find out you need a Fuel Manufacturers license to use WMO as an on road motor fuel.

Excellent work! :)

Why bother to ask if it's worth saving, as you seem h*ll-bent on scrapping it?

Got any engine compartment shots?

So, you would have an auction site that you couldn't show active auctions on?
