    M113 Chrysler Gasoline Engine 8763101 used in any other vehicles?

    Not sure what auto trans is needed or where you might locate one however a New Process Gear 540, 541, 542 manual (5 speed) would be an option with the correct flywheel (not same as auto flywheel). 2 types of manual trans flywheels were used in the V100. Each must match the crankshaft output...

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Interesting report. Thanks for posting that. I would summarize it differently (bottom). Apparently, the re-manufacturer uses original 194x DUKW front axles (correct me if I am wrong) That's a 70y old part/ design. They also stretched the frame for more passenger capacity (increasing the load...

    Can anyone identify this vision block??

    It's a lot thicker than a V-100 vision block. About twice as thick. This block has a 1969 date. The M901 first entered service around 1979 or 80. It is possible the 901 (or other more recent vehicles) use the same block that was in use earlier. I dunno. I would like to know what vehicle it was...

    APC M113 engine in Denmark

    My understanding is the rear of block/ bolt pattern of the M75 (361 B block) is same as the civilian B and RB blocks. The B blocks all had 3.375" stroke (ex. 350, 383 and 400) the RB's (Raised Block) all had a 3.75" stroke (ex. the 1959-60 383, 413, 426 Wedge, and 440), and probably the second...

    APC M113 engine in Denmark

    Normal rotation. The engine is, however, installed backwards in the V100. The transfer case corrects that relative reverse rotation by having 4 gears (instead of the typical 3, or 2 sprockets and chain). In other words, the t-case input rotation is not the same as the output rotation.

    APC M113 engine in Denmark

    Few pic of the two V100 flywheels and cranks. Note the crankshaft flanges not only have different bolt patterns but they stick out of block a different lengths. The flywheels compensate for this. The back side being totally different. Also here is a pic of an early Chrysler 354 cu in flywheel...

    APC M113 engine in Denmark

    24v ignition and starter. The flywheel is special for the auto trans. A flywheel was made for the New Process Gear 541/ 542 five speed manual transmissions, like those used in the V100 and commercial Dodge trucks. Of these latter 2 there were diffent types of flywheel attachment . The V100 had...
