for example these motors are the same as some jeep motors, I think?, question is will a contemporary 4 or 6 for that matter fit in these chassis without too much trouble? I have read of 289 ford motors being installed but have yet to see proof of such. Any body have first hand knowledge of available swap?

I do not want to buy anything just asking a question.

I think the cars using Continental engines included the Kaiser line and the Checker Cab. I believe the Henry J. used a 4 cylinder. Same car was sold by Sears as an Allstate. There was also the Willys sedan, which used Jeep sixes. Eventually Kaiser bought Willys Jeep, and the later Jeeps used Continental sixes, but I think they used their own 4 cylinder F-head design. Generally the Continentals were flat heads, and I would question the bell housing and governor provisions. In mid-sixties, the Jeep used an overhead cam version of the Continental Six.
I'm going to try find out how a Ford engine will fit my Ferguson.

I can't for the life of me remember...but I used to have wallpaper on my computer of a fellow in Virginia who had put a 2.8L Chevy V6 engine in his TO-20. Seems the pic was taken at a fair...even had a little bowtie on the side of it. It could have been here but I think it was on Rod's obsolete Ferguson board. Anybody remember this photo? (or the owner of the rig?) He looked real classy sitting there with his new bib overalls on-on his creation. The way I see it...These engines have to have a plate burnt out and machined to adapt the bell housing of one to the engine pattern of the other with heavy stiffeners running along the sides and across the front. Then, such things as the drag links and steering arms have to be contended with, (lengthened maybe) along with clearance between the gas tank and the top of the engine. Most of the would be mechanics will wait till someone else engineers it, working all the bugs out (and headaches) and then copy their tactics. It's a whole lot easier that way...but why be a would be...get you an engine and engineer it in the 8 hours that you lay in bed every night and be a do be. Just don't take it to the tractor pulls unless you got plenty of spares. Fred

I have the same picture. It was a 2.8 out of a S10 if I remember right. Some one on this board said a 289 Ford with the 5 bolt bell housing if easy to get to fit. Actually all the early 221 260 289 had 5 bolt bell housings up to 1966 or so.
