New Member from Central Iowa
« on: October 20, 2015, 07:04:23 PM »
Hello All,

New Member checking In. Earlier this year I purchased a 1943 GPW that had been modified to use the drive train from a M151 MUTT. I was able to buy a 1951 Parts CJ3A which I plan to use as the drive train for the GPW. Unfortunately, as the CJ sat outside the engine is completely stuck so I am in the process of tearing it apart for a complete rebuild

I have a bit of experience working on antique tractors and look forward to rebuilding the L134 Engine. I have several questions on this engine I hope you fine folks can answer and help with in the process.

Best Regards,

Dave

Welcome.  My jeep came from the family farm in Iowa. I still have a lot of family there.  Look forward to seeing photos as you go.

Welcome.
This is the place for answers on your Jeep Salad.  :)

Overhauling an L-134 isn't hard. It's just that thereare  a lot of little things to know that will make life much easier as you go.
Post questions in the appropriate forums here and you'll reap the benefit of many year of experience - both good and bad. :D
