M-151 Mutt / Jeep

Here's one for you Bill

Nope, it's a titanium, unitized, independent suspension, Ford, with
a Rolls Royce engine, fortunately I was assigned a Dodge with Real leaf
springs and axles: http://www.billhughes.com/billsM37.jpg

Tell us Bill, what is titanium on the Mutt?


And, is the engine really manufactured by RR or even a RR design?? I
always thought it was a Ford. I have worked on actual Rolls Royce
engines and the four cylinder Mutt engine just never even looked like
Rolls Royce. In fact I don't think any US military vehicle ever used a
RR engine.

LOL! The 151's we had were Fords! We always said they had Pinto engines, but
don't know if that was true or just general griping!

Troll, you couldn't even reorganize Rolls Royce Jet engine a:

back to school, then maybe you'll learn to count as high as the number
companies they've build engines for. Then when you grow up and joint the
military, you'll find most everything is titanium for it's light weight,
strength, and high heat resistance. Just try cutting it with a torch.

Pinto engines use an overhead cam and rubber timing belt, like the
rice burners.

It's obvious you jointed a _lot_ in the military.

You got to be queer in every sense of the word.

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK getting cut up with a torch is
exactly what happened to most of the 151s, I've seen a few that were
welded back togeather again. For Titanium they were damn rusty-

Don't ever recall ever seeing one burning JP4 insted of gasoline
though- .


From

http://www.geocities.com/fordm151/

I quote -

"In 1960 quantity production of the M151 started at Ford's Highland
Park factory in Michigan. The engine was the Ford L142 - a 4-cylinder
2,320 cc. unit delivering 72 bhp. at 4,000 rpm. - but the steel bodies
were built by Fruehauf. "

Bill's got a tendency to correct you if you're right...
