Engine manufacturer for M151A2

[Bob Phillips]

Pardon me for an abreviated message, 3rd time ive typed it on
this GD computer ...
- M151 under rated and getting a bad rap, have been involved in help scrap
200+, biggest issue lousy carburetion- running rich then starving, when sold to
locals military carb is scrapped and an updraft or downdraft installed- then
work just fine
- some design flaws on engine, exh manifold, starter location etc
- have had M151 running on propane using pipe plug ports in the intake
manifold, no issues
- transmission is heavy duty, seems well designed but often criticized, anyone
got horror stories?
- I do have a jeep with an M151 engine and trany attached to original
transfer case. It was an easy fix esp by removing rear transfer case portion
and using the long output shaft. Cut and welded original gear onto centre of
jeep transfer case gear and added 3/4 inch adapter plate. Need to have a
shorter driveshaft made up for the rear. Reposition motor mounts etc.
- Have not had it driving yet.
