I had always heard that the internals of the military hydramatic (rear reduction unit excluded) were the same as the standard gmc civilian truck. I had also heard that Cadillac internals could and have been used for rebuilding. Not true? My wife's uncle tells me that the hydramatic was used...

I believe that Vermont Commercial Salvage has NOS gasser radiators.

My M135 carb has #62 jets; my Reos have #58. Not that either of ours couldn't have been switched at some point. They are standard holley jets.

The carbs use standard Holley jets. My M35 gas engines had smaller jets than my M135??

It appears to be a dual reservoir master cylinder. How did you split up the brakes? Would the smaller unit work for a bobbed deuce with two fewer brake cylinders to activate?

I have purchased from this company with good results: http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/

Well, between crying kids, I didn't get a chance to finely craft that last post. I am happy that we both get what we want out of our deuces. I would like to hear if there is someone else who has done the 400 swap. I was worried that mine was an orphan.

You have driven the 400? I understand what you are saying; just don't agree.

No, I have to believe that you are still making assumptions based on your experience with the 331. The 400 is significantly better: 100ft lb more torque and at a lower rpm. It also has ten years of improvement over the OA331. Then, theres the advantage of no leaking injector pumps, drain...

That last statement is a little presumptuous. The 400 has more horsepower and torque than the LDT-465 at the multifuels peak horsepower rpm.

I have a bobbed gas powered M35. I have a distributor with a tach drive and the accompanying tachometer. Works fine but needs some kind of bracket. Does this bracket have built in lighting? Does anyone have one of the under dash tachometer brackets that they would like to sell? What are the...

I followed your post on the stovebolt site. Sounds like a great project. A KT is a lot of engine. How much longer is it than an 855 cummins? You seem to have gotten one for a good price at $7500. Most of the ebay sellers ask that much for a core. I for one, would still be interested in...

Is there any quantitative data to support the idea that the oil is bypassing the oil filters at high engine speed? I'd be real hesitant to try to increase the differential pressure. If you shim it up you run the risk of rupturing the oil filter, spreading filter media throughout the engine...

Re: RE: deuce generator vs alternator Generators, as used in the general automotive field, do not have permanent magnets for the field. While the field does have some residual magnetism, it is actually an electromagnet. Without it, you would not have any control over the generator's output...

Look here for an oveview of my swap: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15085 The white 'super mustang' is the Reo design. The 6-200 would be the 400 cubic inch engine. The displacement should be stamped into the block just above the fuel pump (at least it...

My Dodge Cummins has 22:1.

The propane version of the OA331 had much higher compression (8.2 vs 6.4). I would imagine that you'd lose some horsepower without increasing your compression.

Keep in mind that being out of phase, their sum will not be the sum of the individual phases.

I don't think that this will get you what you want either. The two legs of three phase will not be in phase. This will affect your 240V appliances. Your 120-n-120 is in phase.

Power comes off the line through a center tapped secondary transformer. This is how you get 120-n-120. How are you getting the 'neutral' off of the generator? Without this, the voltage line to neutral will be established by the individual loads and will be unstable.
