Kevin Purcell’s Toys

....Dodge engines and parts are just readily available here in Canada or the US.... they were used in agricultural equipment, air compressors, Bombardier snow machine, welders, concrete mixers, etc....... the rare ones to find are the 265 Industrial on MF combines in the sixties....

Best place in the states both for parts availability and knowledgeable staff is Vintage Power Wagon..... even the online catalogue is filled with priceless information.

The T214 engines were built from 1942 until 1945.

Been following this restoration since the thread started, and , as a fellow Dodge owner, it's looking like it's going to be a nice vehicle when finished. Another web-site which could be very helpful, is the ww2 Dodge Site. Lots of useful info and a good forum. For spares, as Bob suggested Vintage Power Wagons are good, and Midwest Military in America are also well into WC spares

I called into Kevin's shed on my way home yesterday and the second engine was running on the test bed. A fiew minor ajustments and it was sounding great.

I finally got back to Kevin's with a camera the engine is in and he has driven around the paddock. Now he is waiting for body parts to come back from the restorer.

It's been a while since I've called into the shed, some good progress since my last visit.
