    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    10/16/2011 - Going to be using this as my project thread. I have been tracking down CUCV's with no luck, so I am stepping up to an M35 since there are a few around, privately. Looks to be a 1968 year. Anything I should be aware of or checking out when I see it? I think it's about $4200...

    What 6.2 engine is this???

    This went for auction in the 650.00 range when another 6.2 was 170.00, plus I have never seen on listed as a 6.2 with what seems to be a crossover pipe in the backside with a turbine housing and turbo with inlet tube running in between the intake banks in the valley of the motor???

    M35 vs M813???

    New to the MV world and I have a question about the pros/cons of getting one vs the other. Seems most 813s are non-turbo vs most M35s being turboed. Is it harder/more expensive to maintain the 813, how are parts availability of each. From the GL auctions I have seen the 813s don't seem to be...

    Turbo and aftermarket A/C in 1008/1009????

    Didn't see any specific threads related to this. One with a 92 turbo set going on a 1031 but no pics. I was just wondering with the NAP a/c kit or others if you can have the turbo and a/c, cake and eat it too???? Maybe a different bracket to move the alt or the a/c condensor around?

    Cucv radios??

    Are the radios that came in the cucv's especially the m1009s worth acquiring for an added touch of authenticity and usefulness? What is the range on them? Are civilians allowed to use them? I'd just like to go with an authentic piece especially if say the phones went out.... Hehe!

    Swap in 6.5 in CUCV???

    I have searched as much as I could to find the info and also not make a double thread if somebody already has. Seems like the 6.5 already makes more power than the 6.2 and I have seen a few go up for sale on the Gov Liq site for pretty cheap. From the reading I have done the 6.5 gets into the...
