Willys/Ford Engine Swap? Possible?
 

We've got a 1952 Willys CJ3A with a frozen motor. Instead of
rebuilding it, will a Ford six cylinder (170/200/250?) fit the bellhousing?
If someone has done this, is there a list of helpful hints on the web for
doing this? We have the usual range of questions, i.e, motor mounts,
bellhousing, clutch pivot, etc.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

The straight sixes are too long, although my Dad managed to squeeze
a 300" chevy into his CJ-2A. A better choice would be the Chevy V6, like
the old Buick V6 Jeeps: http://www.apple.queensu.ca/cj3b/EngineSwap.html

Back then that would have been a really stupid idea, as there was
no diesel at gas stations, within fifty miles of Del Mar, California,
during the early seventies: http://www.----------.com/dadJeep.jpg Plus
he wanted to climb the hills he couldn't with the stock four flat head,
