Wait a minute - is this the Buick engine?

 

My '67 Jeepster Commando had A Buick V-6.  A 235.  Jeep used FIVE different incarnations of that engine that year.  All of them had interchangeable parts.

 

Except for mine.   :ugone2far:   :fawkdance:  Took a proprietary distributor cap, on a proprietary distributor, that none of the other distributors would fit.  Only like 430+ rolled off the assembly line with that engine.

 

The dude at Willy's Works in Tucson said "Yeah, you got the crap engine. Most people just re-engine them."

 

Or sell it.

When I was a kid Mom had a CJ-6 (look that one up), which the PO had purchased at a Border Patrol auction...having been siezed from a smuggler.  It was all kinds of suped up!

 

Done right, the torque on those V-6 engines is immense with the right cam...not a curve but a plateau.  You could romp it in any gear in high and it would move NOW.  Low was amazing!
