Powerplant => F4 Hurricane

Not the best picture, but at least it shows what we are starting with. Let me introduce you to the future power plant of our Willys Jeep. The famous F4-134 Hurricane.

This is the replacement of the more famous WW2 Go-Devil Engine. It came out right before the introduction of the CJ5.

It is a great engine and we are looking forward to hearing it roar to life in a few years. It currently is at a machine shop in Nashua and it is being checked out to see if it indeed can be rebuilt. I hope it can, or I am out of an engine! We do have a spare engine, but it is a Go-Devil and we want to stay with the more accurate engine. We will find out hopefully sometime soon.
