Arizona Kaiser Jeep Junk Yard - Kaiser Geyser Part 2
|
Though the 75 horsepower 134-inch F-head four-banger was standard equipment, 1954 was the debut year for the optional Super Hurricane six-cylinder engine seen here. Packing 226-cubes and 115 horsepower, the same basic mill was also used in Kaiser passenger cars. Some might call this the first of many instances of Jeep using outsourced engines. But since Kaiser bought out Willys-Overland in 1954 (to become Kaiser-Willys), it was actually an in-house deal - if you ignore the fact that Kaiser got the engines from Continental Motors.
