Ford GPW Engine with Transmission Power Plant ?

Post by 70th Division » Fri Mar 03, 2023 7:43 am

Hello,

I saw this on Criagslist, it appears to be a GPW with a frame section, modified into a stationary engine plant.
It is interesting, and looks to have been kept out of the weather, but missing some spark plugs.

For the right price would be perfect for a restoration project.

Hello Parker,

I was thinking the same thing, as there used to be a lot of stationary pumps for orange groves all around Florida, that looked set up very similar.
If the price gets more affordable, it would be a nice power plant to save, especially with that elusive Ford exhaust manifold.

That looks like it had a perfect frame , but that would make a nice test stand for a rebuilt engine and transmission .

It looks like a data plate was added by the conversion company that built it, also notice the original G503 gauges used.


Hope it gets saved !!


Best Regards,
Ray
