Well it's a hydrovac brake booster, I want to say that is the model used on the GMCs. Problem with it is there are no fresh rebuild kits available for it. So most of the time people upgrade to newer types.
Actually a competent machine shop can sleeve the pitted cylinders and you go on with life. I would only do this to a GEP engine however. My 6.2 looked like this a long long time ago and I sleeved several holes and it has been fine ever since. Might be cheaper than finding another engine and...
Welcome yeah looks like the previous owner got carried away with the train horns and flood lights. And questionable demands stenciled on the bumper given the 55 mph top speed. Army trucks are supposed to be inconspicuous at least in their natural habitat in the field.
Yea kinda a dead item. Back in the 90’s when the Army was dumping the M151s, they would let the scrappers pull the engine before squashing the body flat as a flitter. So there is an abundance of engines here and there in warehouses for the demand that never came. Now 30 years has past and who...
EXCELLENT observation on the rear USMC crossmember! That explains everything. The main data plate shows procurement "US NAVY" because that is who buys stuff for the Marines! The main data plate is indeed correct. You have a USMC Jeep.

A flaw on the HMMWV vent system is that all the gear cases tie together, this has caused plenty of problems when something goes wrong in one place and sends fluid to all the others. As cheap as that poly tube is, I would run separate lines for each gear case to a central point, maybe behind the...
The block is different from the civilian 230 and the military, so the “warehouse “ story doesn’t sound plausible. The 230 was introduced in the early 1960s in various full size Jeep vehicles. I believe the engine was discontinued in 1966 but brought back for the M715 series. Probably to let...
Hey the Tornado is actually not too bad in the power dept. And it's a hemi! Problem with it is the same as the Ford Triton engines, crappy timing chain design.
