Haven't seen this question in looking at previous threads. Obviously in my 1st post I told of mine being changed to a 283 Chevy motor. How many people are running stock engines or other motors? Mines pictured, body will be same colors.

Mine is the rebuilt 134 it came with, but running a Ford Ranger rearend. If the engine goes boing, it will get a Ford drive train and front clip.
 
I'm a 75 year old, old school hot rodder who can't leave anything alone. My 50 1/2 wagon has 5.3 LS efi and 4L60 tranny. The modern electronics so far have made it completely trouble free for 15k miles. The carburetors and scoop are only for cosmetics and conversations.

Stock L-161 in my 1950 Jeepster. Not original to the car but period correct.
 
My 48 Jeepster came to me with an F-134 and otherwise stock. Runs well enough so I'll keep it until I find a 161.

Found it.
