The “marine drive” gear box that was mounted on the engine has a multiple disc wet clutch with “knuckle in” engagement and by moving the lever in the other direction knuckles the clutch out, goes into neutral and will begin to apply a band brake as lever movement continues. and the starter motor & bendix look good.

After removing the oil pan and cylinder head and checking it out, I loosely assembled it just to keep things all together. I separated the engine and gear box so they could be mounted on my engine stands. I see no cracks or breaks in the castings. This is a non running military engine that has been in storage. Carburetor needs to be freed up and cleaned out. “This unit has been in storage for a long time. Somewhere I had an advertisement for Willys marine engines in a Florida newspaper from 1946, but I can’t find that ad at the moment. Here’s the video of a used Kubota engine installed in a a flattie that I mentioned: Engines are sold “as is” with no warranty. If you are unsure if this model will be a direct swap, message me and I will let you know if it will work for your application.

These engines are easily swapped into Jeep’s, bobcats, or even used for standby generators. These engines were removed from refrigeration units with under 15,000 hours. I was looking at a Buick odd fire v6 231 from 1975-1976.Īre the performance changes for better or worse? I have been told to focus on torque which the f head has plenty of to crawl up most things.() At the bottom you can see a video of a Kubota V2203 from a refrigeration unit installed in a flattie. I was wondering if it would be better to swap the engine our rather than try to keep up with the aging motor that has left multiple members of my family stranded in years past. I have no idea how many miles the engine has on it I suspect that my stalling/starting issue is due the carb. It stalls nice and quietly, not kicking and spluttering. (Rings?) And randomly won't start (but sparks). I have tightened the fittings and checked for leaks. I have replaced the pump and it still does it. It pushes air out (when it does this) and does not pull air or gas (at least not enough air to feel). The mechanical fuel pump randomly won't pump fuel. Next summer we are hitting up the Rubicon and I need to do something about the engine. I use the vehicle for mostly camping in harder to reach areas. My great grandfather was quite the tinkerer so most of the parts on the vehicle are not stock.
