I cringe at the thought of good (serviceable) MC and RMC blocks going into scrap piles across these United States. Location: South Carolina, Dorchester Countyĭang it! I thought about asking if you'd consider selling your second motor - because lately I've been thinking about having a good core on hand as a spare. And the late 124184 one, which is now a lawn ornament due to a burst cylinder, (when I got it), does have the coil studs. The two stud holes for the civvy coil mounting are present on all the different series M38 641087 L134 blocks.

But the engine came with a motor mount for an MB on it and I was told that it came off an MB. I will look in the left well housing tonight and see if I can locate anything. I looked for the data plate behind the passenger seat but like most of these vehicle everything has been removed.

The guy I am buying it from has a clean title that he is unable to find at that this time.

My Bad: Right Wheel House!Ĥ5 MB, 51 M38, 54 M37, 66 M101A1, 60 CJ5, 76 DJ5D, 47Bantam T3-C & 5? M100 With the Zenith carb I would suspect your engine came out of a portable welder or generator set and ended up in your jeep after your jeep was surplussed out. These often came with undersized bearings brand new from Willys. The RMCXXXXX engines were installed as replacements in M38's in the field, they were installed brand new in brand new portable power plants/welders, they were surplused out eventually as well. The RMC is the prefix stamped on all factory provided new spare engines produced on each of the Willys/US Army procurement contracts for the M38 from 1950 thru 1952. My question is based on the RMC? Would an RMC engine be used in an M38 as well? I know it is an M38 based on the frame characteristics and the additional battery box storage. All of the military items have been removed from the engine and converted. This vehicle also has a zenith carb instead of a Carter WO. Serial Numbers: I just picked up a 1952 M38 with a RMC xxxxx number with a 020 punched into the block above the RMC.
