The Official Engine swap info and picture thread - Old Willys Forum
Dec 19, 2012 · Engine held in place with Advance Adapters mounts spec'd for a Willys wagon or truck. I boxed the frame behind the mounts and welded the mounts to the frame. The front crossmember was trimmed at the rear flange to clear the crank pulley which allowed clearance for the trans and distributor without firewall rework.
Looking for the best frame/drivetrain swap for my 62 Willys Wagon
Aug 11, 2017 · I just bought a 62 Willys Wagon, that I want to make a daily driver. A better drivetrain & some creature comforts makes me think that a full frame swap would be the best direction. While full restorations are beautiful, power steering, disk brakes, full injection and AC will make a world of difference.

Willys Truck stock axle width (wms to wms) - Old Willys Forum
Oct 24, 2019 · My 55 Willys Wagon front axle measures 59.156 and the rear is 58.25. The odd # in the front is due to it being WAY towed in so I measured both front and rear the same distance from the center of the hub and divided by 2 to get the "0" toe measurement.
IH Scout 2 Dana 44 front & rear axels into a 62 Willys Wagon
Jan 29, 2012 · In my search for an upgrade to my 62 Wagon's axels, it looks like the IH Scout 2 Dana 44's have many good points. I.e, almost the same hub to hub distance, disc brake front end, same wheel lug patttern, limited slip options (both fore and aft), a …
V8 swap - Old Willys Forum
Oct 10, 2023 · I'll take the liberty of describing (but I'm standing ready for correction) them as a Willys Wagon body and frame, more or less stock style suspension, an early V8 (not an LS or Coyote) manual trans usually coupled to a D18 T-case, and little details like stock style through the floor pedals, more or less stock interior, etc.
