New To Me Rough Dj3a

[1957Willys]

I paid $800 for this what I believe to be a DJ3A. The has been apart for a long time. So I need to locate a L134 engine. I have always wanted one but haven't been able to find one. And going by the VIN it's one of the first 200 off the line?

Yes, it is rough. 4-lug indicates a DJ.

It has an engine ... have you already condemned it or do you want to drop in a replacement with no further analysis?

If it were me, it would get a Ford 2.5, turbo, Volvo head, and C3

I woul like to find a replacement engine. I have never owned a two wheel drive jeep.

Column shift, but it might not be a T90. I think these used a T96?. From the large SW 12v speedometer, it should be a 1957 or newer, but I do see a 6v battery, so am not sure.
Looks like a project!

You bought a historical artifact for the price of a Harbor Freight welder. Somewhere, a Kaiser-Frazer exec is rolling over in his grave… in admiration.

There should be an aluminum serial tag on the firewall under the hood. This will give a more accurate ID than the frame numbers.
