Which jeep engine do I have (pics)?

P.S., love the stack of washers under the too long head bolt.

Yah, the stack of washers gives it that little extra .

By the way I got my new carb and choke in the mail and I bolted it on and now she runs really good. My choke was stuck on full and when I put it into reverse I let the clutch out and I must have did about 60 klicks coming out of the garage. Boy these old jeeps are quick. I fixed the sticking choke. That old engine purrs like a kitten. Doesn't smoke or anything.
