    6-226 | Piston damage?

    Hey y'all, I'd just finished my engine teardown when I noticed a dent in the top of all six pistons. All the replacement pistons I've seen have been flat, so this seemed to be an issue. Since I plan on running boost, I need to know if this is potentially a weak link. Would I need to replace the...
  2. Thinking I need a new front filler block for my 226

    It was a lovely day, under my wagon. The gal is off hiking so I get to play, hey-hey. The 226 in my 1961 wagon leaks a lot in front, and a bit in back, so I thought I'd replace the lower seals and gaskets. The pan came off easily, and the gaskets don't look very old (this engine was supposedly...

I have to say that is a great story within itself and I literally spent three days just investigating what these guys were...
  6. Repowering option with wanting to go back to original in future

    Ok every one I know this is going to sound just nuts and insane. I am doing a complete frame off restoration on my 56 wagon. Yes it is really a crazy thing to do since I never have even done anything major at all. As I said before it was my grandfathers. Now I wish to put the original 6-226...
  7. Getting my Wagon running......

    Here's my situation. I have been watching my '58 Wagon sit in my driveway with almost no work done for the last 2 months. I took the seats out.....woohoo.......no. Anyway, I have found out through my dad that the engine is free, the carb linkage is free, and all parts needed are pretty much...
  8. Willys Forever...apparently

    I have had a Willys vehicle sitting around or driving around for the last 40 years or so. My first was the Forward Control longbed with a hyd dump of which I bought a new Warn overdrive for. However I sold that truck before installing, and the buyer didn't want the overdrive?! So the Warn sat...
