Not Kaiser 1963 to '70 their six was an over head cam:

You're thinking of an '62 or older ****** Hurricane F6 blocks that all

Hi Lee,
As far as I know Continental never built for ****** nor Kaiser
(civilian models anyway). Bret's probably thinking of the engine
manufacturer that was in some of the Military M-151s:

Flathead Continentals were made continuously for almost 70 years and
most were reliable. Jeep apparently used their own variation of the
Continental which some were trouble and some not, but I'm not sure
which is which.
The Henry J was a smaller Kaiser model that used a four cylinder
Continental. Full size Kaisers and Frazers were equipped with the
flathead six, which over the years went in a LOT of auto and non-auto
applications, the last I know of was the old Checker Cab.
There are few things more rewarding than getting hold of a pro built
street rod at auction or from a disgruntled ex, and pulling out its
Chevy engine and trans to be put in something more appropriate, sawing
out all the plumbing and wiring some yuppie son of a bitch paid some
hillbilly-*** Arkie like ------ entirely too much to do, and slathering
down the concours paint job with Rand-O-Strip, to restore the vehicle
to a semblance of its former dignity. The wheels, tires and sound
systems go on eBay and if you're lucky you can actually come out on the
deal. The blower makes a nice mailbox too after you drill a few holes
in the side for the flag and Lumiweld the back plate on the case and
the drive sprocket to the front cover for a handle.

Re: A Kaiser Owning Friend Asks...
This rig was built for parades by welding the pickup frame to a carhauler.
It has a very low mileage rebuilt "Super Hurricane" six, and working trans
and Dana 20 transfer case, but I don't know if they have been rebuilt. It
has just about everything but the rear end.
It is for sale, call 209-795-6782. It is owned by the Loggong Museum, and
they won't give me a price, but was told that i should submit a bid for
about $1000 and it would go to the next board meeting. You could easily
spend that buying and rebuilding all the parts you want, this stuff drives.
It isn't something that i would drive around much as a front wheel drive
vehicle, or try to haul loads with, but it could be stripped for parts and a
new tongue welded on the trailer.
I could even put my bike on it and deliver, if you buy it.
