been bouncing around, looking for engine and contemplating what this jeep will become.
found a very nice fellow that offered me a complete willys motor for free, but like mine its stuck (dont know if its pitted from rust or not)
and stumbled onto a M38A1 engine that was running when pulled. seems the hurricane engine will work but it will involve cutting the hood.... not good. although I could find a beat up hood to use for the time being.
and lastly I believe I found a running military M38 engine with gauge cluster, I am working on getting this engine with the hopes it will be a drop in.
going to get the frame checked soon, I know the front end will need to be rebuilt.
since progress is extremely slow

, I am putting some time into my other hobbies
