Hi everyone; I finally did it!
I’ve wanted a Willys ever since I saw the adds in the back of the magazines for “ Jeep’s in a Crate for $50 “ back in the late Fifties. Guess what, I never did find one but I picked up a 1951 or 52 CJ-3A. She’s tired and she’s going to need work but she’s all mine.
The serial number on the firewall reads 452-GB1 35236. Now the engine block casting block number is 638632 W6 A N1-CR-NI. There is a number stamped in front of the block number that is stamped 6-6
Now the number I’m having problems with is the engine serial number. I’m reading it as M(B? )615000. Between the M (B?) and the numerals is a punch mark. What do I have? The guy I bought it from said the engine wouldn’t turn and he’d been soaking the four cylinders with kerosene with the kerosene going through #1,2 and 3. When I got it home I cleaned out number 4 and it looks like someone had used a hammer and block of wood to break it free.
Sorry for being long winded but I’m excited to finally have one, it’ll be a work in progress. Thanks

Hi guys, here’s the latest about my tired 1952. As I mentioned earlier #3 and #4 cylinders have been beaten in to free up the engine. I have a chance to pick up a engine and transmission out of a Jeep that was driven into this guys shop, shut off then had the engine and transmission removed from the Jeep and stored in the back of the shop. It’s taking up room in Bobs shop and he wants to sell it. What do you think? Here’s some pictures ( I hope )
