GM Iron Duke
« on: August 19, 2018, 08:28:02 PM »
brainstorming, yes, you smelled smoke. Its me thinking.

I was thinking about  engines that wouldnt require the typical hood mods that the fhead motor requires on a flattie.

My flattie is in good shape, but I enjoy these mental bunny trails...

I had an iron duke 4cyl in my boat, thought it was a solid motor. I cannot find any information on the  net about the space requirements... 

Has anyone here done one?

I did a Pinto into my M38 and I think that an Iron Duke  would make a good one to swap in to an early Jeep too.  Should use a GM bell housing.  Check with Novak and/or Advance Adapters for information.  You could check on the CJ2a page also.
Good luck with your project.  Keep us up dated on your progress.      
The sun never sets on the mighty Jeep.

Check out

Pretty much lays out what can be done with a flattie in terms of a engine swap.
