- Part 3! 1946 CJ-2a Willys Jeep! Is The Engine Even Going To Work Or Fit???? 📐
Ian gives Jamie a tutorial about internal combustion engines and fabricates motor mounts to set the engine on. Stay on for the end of the episode, Ian and Jamie need some help from our community!
It is well known throughout Jeep Land that overhead valve engine will not fit under the flat fender hood. We might be able to make it work, without cutting the body. We also want to thank Summit Racing for hooking us up with Jeep parts! They have a huge catalogue of ALL Jeep parts! Check them out in the link below!

The Backstory of Jamie's Jeep....
Jamie has wished and WISHED for a Willy's Jeep for her Christmas and Birthday present 🎁 . Ian has had a beautiful Willys 1946 CJ-2a Jeep in the back sitting on a Willys M38A1 Chassis for the past few years. Ever since Ian and Jamie were married, Jamie has been eyeing it for a build on Full Custom Garage, sadly the project didn't make it to the show, but now she gets her wish! Jamie is learning about the history of these jeeps and is learning a little wrenching from Ian. The desert is a great place to go "jeepin" and Jamie wants to be part of the club in the warmer months and feel the wind in her hair as she drives to the local market. Jamie is down to get her hands dirty in the garage on this one! We appreciate our amazing support system in the desert with helping us procure the parts needed for this fun build!
Check out our friend Ian's Big Willy Jeep website for outfitting your Jeep with custom seats and seat covers! These cushions will be in Jamie's jeep soon!

The down and dirty, how an engine works was great. Good general knowledge for anyone that doesn't normally work on engines. The donuts for the body to frame sounds like the winning idea to me.
Guys can criticise you for not using fancy tools, but you are working with the sort of gear and tools that most of us have in our shops. And what you do with them is a big inspiration to us. Keep up the fantastic work and keep up the great videos you and Jamie are doing.
If you changed the bearings, new oil pump, new rings and hone the cyls,and lap in the valves. It will freshen up that engine up without the machine shop.
I don't always comment. But give you "Likes". What you do with metal is both amazing and artistic. Love you're shows on television and UA-cam! Can't wait to see the chopped top VW when it's done.
I use a magnifying lens insert in my welding helmet. Works great and don't have to use glasses anymore. Got mine on Amazon.
The fiber gears were used to reduce noise, some model a Ford's have them and my experience they get brittle with age. A new one might be a good investment.
The Bakelite "fibre" gear also is constructed with asbestos so it's best to rep[lace them.
I'm so glad to see companies finally stepping up and supporting Ian with their products, they couldn't hitch their brand to a more rock solid and deserving guy. I hope the future gets even better for the two of you 👍
Excellent video and explanation as usual, there is not to many guys like us left. In the throw away society unfortunately. But hopefully we can still reach those kids who still love the use their hands and minds to make some cool and unique things. Also a shout out to your better half jamiefor her personal video production. Cheers to you both.
Consider using a taller rubber body mounts to lift the body above the frame for more engine clearance.
The carb you're looking for is a Holley 1904. Used on lots of different cars/trucks including IH scouts and pickups.
Ignore the haters Ian 😂 You gotta love Jamies excitement on this build 🥰 nice lesson on the ice engine 👍
Many thanks for all your episodes...just had open heart surgery...22 days in ICU..finally had a chance, and time on my back, to catch up on most of your productions..your humour and interesting work really helped me get through all...sounds a bit lame but thanks for all.❤
Wow, all the best.
Get well soon! Im happy to know it helped you in your recovery ❤️🩹 🙏
I built my first willy’s when I was 15yrs old. I installed the F-head engine in mine since the Flathead (L-head engine)was missing. I used a 1bbl carb off a 60’s model ford straight six. doing a 1” over stock body mount allows the hood to be flat unmolested. had an 1.5” clearance to create an offset air cleaner horn. Luv your work Dude 😎
Hilarious! What is this a talk show!! Too funny, love
You guys, keep em comin y’all,
Big fan 4 years! Thanks 🇺🇸🤘🏽🛻
The carb that you need i believe is the holley 1908.
It was for a 144 c.i ford so the jetting should be pretty close too.
This was at one time a common topic on the cj2a page.
A 1 inch body lift helps too.
Like he said always a hoot and never to old to learn stuff ....👽👍 Keep looking up ..🛸🖖....🙄👍
Ian and Jamie, I really enjoy your videos. I keep expecting Victor to show up with a project to throw a wrench in your builds!😄
First thing we learned in auto shop ,in high school. Intake,compression,power,and exhaust. 4 stroke internal combustion engine.
I.E......Suck, Squeeze, Bang n Blow !
= 4 stroke.
After your engine discussion, I can't wait to see the 5 minute explanation of how an automatic transmission works. Talk about magic...
Ian there's a crack in the middle off the block between the water jacket and head stud. It's going to give you problems and blow the head gasket. Problems Problems....
the carb from a ford 6 cyl with a glass bowl, 1950.s , its a holly somthing 4 , it was used on ramblers and some 6 cyl
internatinals.
I watched this a couple days ago and enjoyed the basic class on how the engine works. My dad's first new car was a 49 Plymouth Special Deluxe. When it was 7 years old, he disassembled the engine in the engine compartment and rebuilt it. I inherited it in 1960 when he bought a new Pontiac. I drove it until 1962. It was still running on Dad's rebuilt job. Thanks for reminding of the good old days.
I had an M38-A1 with the F-head. Pretty cool weird motor. I blew a head gasket on it, and we fixed it after resurfacing the head. Later my bro dropped a rod. I advised him on swapping the engine. With a spare we got from our neighbor. Luckily our neighbor wanted his old pickup made into a trailer so we helped him with that and he gave us the unneeded drivetrain parts.
Getting stuff from Summit is almost like Christmas.
Ah tye internal combustion engine as explained by Dr Rouselle , pay attention class 🤓.... 😂😂 great video Ian and Jamie 👍
I really dig your show. I like how the teacher/student dynamic between Ian and Jamie comes through the camera. It gives me a more realistic, 1st person perspective because Ian is actually teaching Jamie. I'm not much of a hands on car guy; I'm a music guy. Piecing together musical ideas when I "write" (make up) songs is not dissimilar to what Ian does with his art. I watch Ian's shows for inspiration. I find his creative process and his approach to making something out of an idea very informative, like letting the piece he's working on tell him what it needs. With Jamie behind the camera, I am now learning the nitty gritty basics about car stuff that I'm guessing most of your viewers likely take for granted.
Thank you!
@@fullcustomIan It's my pleasure.
For Jamie’s benefit and others, there are a couple of YT channels that use fantastic computer graphics to show/explain how engines (and other automotive systems) work. Aimed for the beginner and very well done.
Great videos you two. You make a great team.
Anyone can learn how to use a centre punch. But to look at a car and have a practical vision and make it look awesome is a talent only a select few like Ian possess.
I posted on episode 2 to help with my experience. The overhead valve cover WILL fit under the low hood of all early jeeps to the CJ3A models. The CJ3B and later models used the overhead engine but had higher hoods to fit the higher profile of the overhead engine. The only reason for the higher hood was to make room to clear the carburetor. The way to keep the low hood is to use a lower profile early Ford carburetor. Some owners cut the hood to clear the carb and made a hood scoop to cover the carb. I built a cj3a jeep and put the overhead engine using a lower profile Ford carburetor and it worked great.
Autolight carbs off of early 1960 s and there’s a Carter carb that works great can’t remember the number of it you’ll have plenty of room with them and they work great
Use a 90 degree carb mount to fix the clearance issue with a side draught.
Great old Jeep! Glad to see you building an early Jeep!!!
Ian, I would advise you to have the block magna fluxed just to be sure there are no cracks in it. My block looked good so I put it all together. The first time I started it I found water in the oil and found I had a cracked block. Save yourself the posiblety of that happening in this case. Most times they can Mag a block in 1 to 2 days.
As far as the body to frame mounts you can get them in 1" 1 1/2" and 2". The difference is almost not negligible. 😊
Good video, good info and hats off to Sumitt
I love how u explain simple things to some of us simple people..thats cool..😮.
Another great video. Willys-101 Good fabricating & Jamie is doing really good camera work. Thank You Both. 👍👍👍
I think a body raise of 1-2 “ will resolve your carburetor height , that’s a good and Inexpensive idea !
They have around 2'' mounts from factory.
Ford had an up-flow carb # RAPartsinc 312954. I have seen guys cap off a short piece of square tubing, cut two holes in it on the same side. The carb mounts to the tubing and the fuel air mix goes up into the tubing and over to the engine and back down into the head. This is very much like a Ford 8N tractor motor.
Coming along very well with the jeep project. Explaining the mysteries of a combustion engine to the Mrs. is an excellent idea to continue with, she will be wrenching along with you just like Emily from 'Flying Sparks Garage'. Thanks for the great content, I enjoy watching and learning.
"...was extremely satisfying to watch..." you succinctly summed up my entire experience and obsession with Ian's shows, Jamie; I have neither the talent nor ambition, so I get my fabrication kicks vicariously and thank you for that... 😉👍👏
You work like all of us do. SWAG it! The Tim “the tool man Taylor aka Ian “full custom” Roussel of the garage!
As always, you guys do great work. Lots of useful and valuable information regarding motor mounts. I personally enjoy the speed you work. It appears you have a plan and a vision. You’re not just running around the shop Frantically. With the help of Jamie, your videos are peaceful and calming. Awmmmmmmmmmm (insert yoga Lotus position.)
You can make a side draft adapter for the carb maybe?
Another riveting show...good questions, Jamie.
Great job on the explanation of how an engine works. I see Jamie is learning more and more each day. Thanks for the service announcement, "just say no to Crack!" 🤦 belts are so overrated😁
I had a 53 Chevy pickup, that I started out from Vegas to drive to New York, and that camshaft gear was made out of fibrous material, and it sheared or strip the gears whatever you want to call it. Needless to say we had to haul it back to Vegas and pull the engine apart period we had to put a new camshaft and of course a metal gear, whatever kind of metal it was made out of. That was in 1976. So when you said that gear was made out of some virus material it made me remember that . Good luck with that engine😊
Yes they're designed to strip.
Enjoyable an well done video. I'm enjoying the journey as you are including your bride as you educate your viewers. Keep them coming.
Evolving just like every thing cheers guys 😊
I love the way you explain...
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Intelligent, witty, informative entertainment. What a concept!
I like suspenders over a belt at times.
Ian, great lesson. Every person should learn something new everyday. I hope that u got your roof back on your home. Thanks
Us too!! Thank you!
Once again, what a GREAT show!!! So down to earth and pure. Husky Hugs All Around Gang. 🐺🥰🐺
Awesome build.
Well I just learned more in 40 minutes about engines than I have in 40 years
Make your body lift out of hockey pucks. Drill out puck insert a bushing,couple of flat washers top and bottom. Cheap body lift.
Hey dude..when you call it an engine..you are correct...motors are in electric cars...so tell them to step off. Great show...love how you and your lady play off each other.
I injoy the Jeeps. Thanks for sharing with us.
From the movie Quick Change (1990) starring Bill Murray as Grimm.
Bank Guard: "What the Hell kind of clown are you?"
Grimm: "The crying on the inside kind, I guess."
I don't know how you stay so calm when people chime in about your skills or how you do something. Like you many of us have done things for so long we know our way and the right way. I'm sure the guy who commented about the drill press will suggest you put smaller front tires on the jeep to get the engine a little lower so the valve cover fits. 🤪
Your timing gear that caught fire is a phenolic gear.
Phenolic Gears exhibits superior shear force, help reduce machinery noise, absorbs destructive vibration unlike metal gears, phenolic is non-conductive, protects the mating metal gear train, and are known to outlast metal gears under severe continuous service
Great info 👍 thanks
Summit is a great company to work with and they have excellent tech support
Good stuff!
Thanks for the show guys 🍻 🇦🇺
The timing gear is a fiber gear with a metal center, for body mount I would use hockey pucks they're cheap and easily available and they can slightly raise the body for valve cover clearance maybe maybe carb clearance just an idea you add as many as necessary whatever Jamie wants 😊
hockey pucks off Amazon makes great body mounts,I’ve used them numerous times. the ford 140-160 straight six is the Carburetor I used. after learning to weld/braze I modified the carb port of the head to accept a progressive weber.
The mounts need to be rubber on these little Jeeps, for flex and to stop vibration & metal fatigue.
Hockey pucks have more resiliency than the stock 1/4” thick slice of rubber, having run them for over 20yrs on my 47’2a and 51’ 473 willys truck I dissagree with you
@@user-rn1vq6ex7q Are hockey pucks 1/4 thick ?
As I’m watching this I’m installing a motor in my 57 dodge town wagon. Great class on motors. 😊
Great video. Don't forget the air cleaner clearance.
......I ENJOY UR DIALOGUE....SO MUCH....I HAVE TO WATCH EACH SHOW 3 OR 4 TIMES..
Very nice job on the Motor mounts Ian and Jamie You could use Hockey pucks for a lift
Appreciate the educational portion as well as the fabrication skills. I've built multiple replicas. Bradley GTII, Sterling, Lotus Super 7, working on my 4th Lamborghini. Always pick up new ideas from your shows. Also, kudos to Jamie for great video skills.
Luv your work Ian
Just like the aorta in the heart, SA node in the top of the atrial and pass it down to the Ventricles and all over again and again your whole life it's amazing... Same Same...
Take a look at the air cleaners used on 66-77 ford broncos with the inline 6, or 80-86 broncos, and 73-86 f-series and econolines with the 300 inline 6. They mount on a Carter YF/YFA single barrel carb. They might just be the ticket to hood clearance. They orient the filter to the side and lower, about even with the carb.
Rick Pewe's jeep "tator" is a 2a with the fhead and ford 1904 carb. I have $100 china knock off 1904 cab and it works well. You have to knotch to the valve cover and a 1" body lift helps.
This is a good Shop Class on engine mounts.....
Right on, you two...🙏🙏🙂🙂🤙🤙🇳🇿🇳🇿
The hood and body you have is for the flathead engine, when they came out with the F. head engine, which is what you have , they change things just a little and made a high hood for using that engine. They must have jacked up the tub, kept the fenders and forward sheet metal the same height and made the high hood. the clearance between the floorboard and the top of the transmission is a close one, so put the top on your transmission before you finalize the body mount shims. Also I think there is supposed to be a flat mounting /spacer plate between the bell housing and the back of the block, now supposed to be any spaces showing between the bell housing and the block . Might have to move your front engine mounts about 1/4 inch.
Looks good . carb swap sounds good.
Great explanation on the operation of the engine. In very simple term, just remember Suck, Bang, Blow. As for the people saying what THEY think you are doing wrong, I don't see them building anything.
ahh,a 3 stroke!. 4 would be suck/squish/bang/blow.
@@sprintcarsandguitars959 you are correct Sir
Well done guys. That’s the second oddball engine design I’ve seen in a couple of days. Farm Craft is disassembling a John Deere dozer and the engine has a water jacket in the valve cover. It’s good to see Summit is helping you guys out with engine parts, to me there’s nothing wrong with sponsorship as long as it’s clearly declared as you did. Lucky you decided to fix that motor or all those parts would have gone to waste😉. I think that old low compression/ low power donk will be fine, I’ll bet it won’t even burn oil if you give it a hone and the rings are good. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
I’ve seen many flathead and OHV engines but I’ve never heard about or seen a combination engine like that one.
Please keep the videos coming
This is what they call an F head.
The Cam gear is most likely a Bakelite style gear and could be replaced with a cast or alloy gear. Just a PSA, Bakelite is made using Asbestos so be careful handling old and worn items containing it.
Yes it's made to be the weak point..
you can always use a side draft SU or stromberg carb from a British car
You said the B Word arrrghh lol..
Yes it's all happening, i can see Ian's getting excited, them old Jeeps will do that to you, the Holley 1904 carb seems to be the the best, according to discussion on The CJ2A Page..
Jeeps getting on at last!🆒😎👍!
Nice fabrication on the motor mount brackets. The height problem for the valve cover shouldn't be an issue... since it almost or barely fits with the body sitting on the chassis, then when you put the body mounts on, it should clear with no problem. Stock body mounts are probably in the area of 1/2 to 1" tall.
As for the carb, a side draft would be the most elegant way to get the clearance. If you want a vertical carb. check out the Holly 1904 carb that others have mentioned. It looks much shorter than most one barrel carbs, With the body mounts in place, a shorty air filter may fit, and still be able to close the hood.
I would install 1" body mounts and look at a side draft carb, a 1 3/4 SU or others also do a full tair down on the engine
Great use of the word "gusset" Jaime!
The overhead valve has intake in the head to improve performance. It was an upgrade to make better air flow through the head.
In 1926 John Willys needed an engine for his new Whippet. Small of bore but big enough to support a soda can.
You could give it a light hone with new rings, bearings and lap in the valves. But it will probably run ok the way it is. They aren’t a performance engine and they’re usually bulletproof. So you can go either way. Put spacer blocks between the body and the chassis. 1” would help and you’d hardly notice the difference.
🟥 F head. 1 valve in head and 1 valve in block...Maybe fabricate a sheet metal manifold to put the carburetor off to the side?
You could do a mild body lift maybe like only a 2inch should give you plenty of room but not excessive
Thanks!
The Jeep is coming along 👍👍
Willys catalog. I have 1958 cj5. I know you're getting parts through SUMMIT,but ALL THE INFO on ALL old WILLYS is in the catalog. Love this build ❤
Looking like he wants to make you happy. Have fun with it
Ian is a brilliant artist and his media is custom motor vehicles.
Good morning Ian in Australia we call them con rods that is what holds the piston and it is also known as the connecting rods
Ian, you need to take Jamie to the IN-N-OUT Winter Nationals...I'm sure she'd get a kick out of that..
Gotta love summit racing I live in-between the original summit racing and jegs racing here in Ohio and Summit is my choice of the two . Keep up the good work
Summit 👍
