Just reinstalled an L134 in a 1945 MB today. This video was helpful. Scott you asked for comments... we rested the engine on the motor mounts gently and with the hoist still attached stuck a stout prybar between the skid plate and the front axle and pushed it straight in. [After trying everything else first!!]
Thanks Scott, good information. When we installed the motor last March, a slight accident caused a damaged clutch plate and a cracked transmission case ( ouch) . Your info is right on👍
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks =)
The first engine I pulled (by myself) was a Chevy small block 283. I tied 5/8" rope to both exhaust manifolds, and lifted it up with a tiny "block and tackle" like this one .... images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31QLG%2BWS2gL.jpg ....where the top end was hooked to a big tree :) ... this was in a kind of posh area of Toronto, where my Grandmother lived at the time. I got LOTS of nasty looks from neighbours and passer's by :) LOL
Thanks Scott for another great video. I'm doing the exact '43 MB and installed my motor about 2 months ago. I mated the engine to the bell housing on the garage floor then hoisted the entire assembly into position. It seemed to work fine. Any problems with this method that I did not foresee?
f18horse actually that is a preferred method. I showed it this way for those who need to remove the engine with the transfer case and transmission in place.
How do you attach the leveler to the motor? I just put the head on my motor and torqued it all down. Do I take 4 nuts off and put them back on with the load leveler brackets when I’m ready to drop in?
CollegeBaseball15 yes, however some would say to use a large strap and wrap it around the engine. There is a risk of breaking head bolts. I personally have pulled and installed several engines and never had an issue breaking bolts.👍
actually by "Backwards" I meant in relation to the other bolts in the bell housing . I went to Army Jeep Parts , George has an unmolested '44 motor there in a video and you can see them in there the way you say !! but i HAVE seen pics the other way to , so it made me question it .

Thanks Scott for another great video. Please keep making them. Phil.
Excellent work Scott.

What kind of carburetor you use so it doesn’t touches the hood ?

To the twelve year old, thumbs downing my vids. Grow up.
Scott , with the dowel bolts , I KNOW everybody puts them in backwards from the other bolts on bellhousing but does anyone know WHY ?
It would seem that the taper of those bolts inserted “backwards” like you say, would aid in the proper alignment of the bell housing.
@@TeamG503 OK , I'm doing it your way . NOW i have someone to blame ! LOL

I would like to have a MOTOR like this one in new condition I have an old engine my car Jeep Willys year 58 I like it
How much does it cost the engine of Jeep Willys MB
I have tryed to order parts from Ron Fitzpatrick not an east site to use.
Glen Roseboro what is difficult for you? It’s a pretty user friendly site. You can always call the shop, best customer service in the industry.
@@TeamG503 found the website easy to use 99% of the time
