I'm not sure, but I think they were popular because of a change in compression...

Hi Warren

Thanks for the information, I will make some enquiries as to the CJ engines and see if that was a good option, though by changing the engine to a post war CJ engine is it still an original 1942 vehicle, or should the seller advise a purchaser the vehicle is not standard.

Cheers
