I'm having fun watching your videos. Just thought I'd toss this out at you. I built a CJ3-B a bunch of years ago and learned a few tricks. The axles are Dana 25 front and 35 rear (as I recall) and the wheel bolt patterns are the same as a mid-70s Chevy 1/2T truck. I took the front rotors and calipers off a 75 (I think) Blazer and they were a direct bolt-on to the front and rear axles on the Willys. I added a spacer washer about 3/16" thick to center the rotors in the caliper, but other than that it was a direct bolt-in and cost me less than a full brake job with the drum system. I installed new Warn manual front axle hubs. Next, I took the brake/clutch pedal group out of a early 80s (I think) Jeep Cherokee. They come out in a unit, bolted to a single plate. I bolted that to the firewall of the Willys with a reinforcement plate on the engine side of the firewall and removed the floor pedals and welded up the rust-attracting holes in the floorboard. I installed a brake master cylinder and proportioning valve from Summit Racing on the firewall in the engine bay, ran new brake lines and !voila! Your parking brake is on a drum on the rear drive line, just aft of the transfer case, so you still have a parking brake and everything is legal. Next, I took the clutch master and slave cylinders from the same Jeep Cherokee and installed the master on the firewall and the slave underneath in place of the old clutch linkage. Easy peasy! Now I had four-wheel disc brakes and a hydraulic clutch on a modern pedal group hanging under the dash. Retained the original engine, trans, and transfer case. Mounted 33-10.50 aggressive tires on it. We used to joke that the Willys took a while to get up to speed, but it would stop on a dime! Maybe some of that info will be useful/fun for you.
please straighten that windshield frame and install a rollbar my guy. I have seen things go bad real quick on the trails. Love your channel and this build
Perkins 4203. I fitted one in my Land Rover years ago. They were a common and popular engine upgrade before TDI’s became readily available. Economical, will pull a house down, but very slow. Parts are still readily available.
Diesel mechanic here, in regards to your being stumped why you had exhaust gas coming out cooling system, but no coolant in the oil, it just depends where the head gasket leak is, if it's between a coolant passage and the cylinder, the cylinder pressure is so much more than an open coolant system, that it's just physics, has to go from high pressure to low pressure. Then it just depends on how good the rings are, etc, as far as if coolant gets into the cylinder, how easy it gets into the sump to make milkshakes. I was a marine diesel mechanic, and sailboats are a good source of small diesel motors. A Perkins 4.108 is almost the 350 Chevy of small marine diesels, they are just starting to get expensive/difficult to get parts for, so you can sometimes pick them up cheap. They have almost exact same weight, hp, and torque, of a Ford model A motor, hah. Keep on trucking.
Turn N Burn, i have a couple Qs? one is where do you find willys jeep, half destroyed/half burnt, (price wise), and second is have you thought of putting a very small 4bt cummins in it, cause it would be a fun project to build for me in oregon, thank you for your patients and your time, your friend jon cusic
God I'm in love I've dreamt of owning a willys mb since I was 12 at 23 now I'm saving for a project can restommod 1 foot lift kit on classic 40" ground hawgs with a 6.5 turbo diesel would be plenty enough power to go four-wheeling in such a light vehicld
Good info bro never know they made diesel for jeep at that time. Rugged vid ! Think a body lift would have help the Perkins be a better fit? Safety is nice but somtimes just gotta get out n get it.
Neat project!! Great little diesel engine!! I know you are all about keeping it as close to original but you could do the R2.8 cummins 4 cylinder is just as neat as thst Holley Sniper EFI just a little more money. Or a VW TDI engine.
I'm picking up a Massey Ferguson 65 with the 4.192 engine in it. Any idea what kind of adapter plate is used? Also any idea where to find a T98? They are unobtanium in Utah.

This series of burnt Jeep and rare diesel was great just wished there was more. Glad someone is repairing and finding use for there projects .

I put a Kubota 2.2L turbo diesel into my 46, they should have come from the factory with little diesel engines like this!
I put a 3 l Mercedes turbo diesel in my 1986 Toyota 4x4 extra cab, love that torque
You are one talented young man well done love your shows
I believe the little reservoir was for ether (easy start)
the 4203 was the go to engine to convert petrol landrovers in the 80s
I’ve been working on swapping a newer Perkins in a Jeep yj.
That'll buff out... ;) "hate'n it's way through the trails" You are priceless!!! Love your work. :)
It was nice to sand the the body and the rusty parts then painting it
The 2C and 3C Toyota works fantastic
The were more common than you think. In marine applications that is.

You should start with a brand new body and go from there. Much easier way to build it
Good info bro never know they made diesel for jeep at that time.

Great Channel cool video thumbs up
Did you take any measurements of the bell housing before selling it?
I did a video of what’s left of several diesel Jeeps on my channel. They are all still down in a copper mine.
I was referencing your video in this one!
Cool thanks.
notifications squad watching from Las Vegas
Mazda gang!
@@TurnNBurn you already know , hope you enjoy our new post happy holidays
Need to turbo that thing and install an exhaust pipe
1st video youtube has suggested to me of yours... it wait you are th ed same mid ix racing kid right?
Yes, I renamed the channel
you do a good job on these videos and have a real knowledge of them
..fun to watch and learn from
Interesting!!
I'm picking up a Massey Ferguson 65 with the 4.192 engine in it. Any idea what kind of adapter plate is used? Also any idea where to find a T98? They are unobtanium in Utah.
Look into the T18 trans. As for adapters you'll have to custom make one since you don't have the factory Jeep setup.
How much is a jeep with this perticular perkins engine worth? I live in europe and i've come across one.
Depends on condition like anything else
👍👍
Is this engine also known as the perkins p4?
No p4 and p6 are bigger engines Perkins made al kind of differend engines
Too bad you sold it , there are a number of ways of repairing cracked heads , you could put a VW diesel , and may as well go with a turboed eingine ;)
sandblast the jeep
HOW DARE YOU! lol look at the cheech!!!
i thought you sold this
I did
