Theres no way to know for sure what paint is on my deuce . ITs green . Under this green is desert tan , truck was in desert shield so im told . Asuming this info is correct the paint is not all that old . Now i question weather this would be a lead based paint or not . Its getting buffed down ...
I was starting to think i was the only one , mine runs 12 mpg too . That was pretty flat road 50 -52 mph as well .
10 mpg on hilly areas . Hills not mtn . Mi dont have mtn's .
Thought i had one of the Nukizer at a party but i cant find it . Due to my other sport iv got to know a handful of Gm and chry hot shots . They get to play with this stuff .
When Gm was coming out with the H3 i got to play with them a year before they were introduced , test mules were brought...
Heres a few more " od " jeep/chrysler pics for you . None will make it to market i suspect . The Tan one is actually a Brute which you can buy , just not from chry .
From his first post it seems he has a running motor . Set of rings and bearings would freshen it up , bore it 60 T if he wants more power . Im sure there are performance parts avalible there seems they have the motors around .
I reread your 1st post , looked at the photo too . The engine you have is what ? 318 or 360 ?
Your money may be best spent upgrading that motor . rebuild , add some horse power after market parts .
Im not up to date on mopar after market parts but it wouldnt take much research on the net to...
check on oil pans . Not sure you can get a oil pan for the 340 that will fit a truck . Think they are front sump , you would need a rear sump if im not mistaken .
340 was a short stroke , quick rev motor made to get off the line quickly . heavy vehicles like a truck are really better off...
318 and 360 are the only easy swaps . 440 took a different trans , same as 400 and 383 .
I dont know of chry putting out a 360 6 pack . 340 cid had a 6 pack .
Speaking of 340 , that will interchange with the 318 and 360 but was a rare motor even here in the US . Was a muscle motor for the...
correct , one is internal balance , 360 is external . If you purchase a 360 cid then you need the converter for a 360 cid as well . Should fit into the trans with no problem . If you are not a mech , have a mech install it and put a new front pump seal in .
This is more in my realm then army trucks are .
Dodge 360 or 5.9 L engine is a good motor . They were not as durable as the dodge 318 or 5.2 L but both are good engines .
The 727 trans was used in several applications and was infact installed on a chevy motor by checker marathon auto ...
