Hey Guys, I picked up a 51 Willys wagon last weekend that has had the original engine replaced with a y-block. It is now parked at a friends house who lives in the country. I am currently restoring a 58 Willys wagon back to original and once that is done I am going to do a restomod with the 51. It sounds like I need to get a few numbers off of the block next time I see the y block to begin to narrow down the motor size. Just wanted to introduce myself and will be keeping an eye on the forum for info that I can use in the future. Dan

Welcom Dan! Looks like an early one you have there may be a 239. Check the 3s and let us know. You'll find a lot of info here to get it running it's best.

For those of us still learning, what do you see that leads you to think it is a 239?

Check the 3s and let us know I did a search on the forum and could not find anything pertaining to what a "3s" is. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks Dan

Casting number on the block, above the oil filter, driver's side. He meant numbers as in # not 3.
