So is everyone saying it isnt a 258 or that it isnt the original engine? I'm confused.

 

From further study.

 

That is a Ford 300 I6. The shifter is from a ford small car (looks similar to XJ's but this one has a hump.

 

Its possibly NOT 4x4 anymore either, as it would have been Righthanded Pumpkin and from the look of that engine, its from the Lefthanded drop pumpkin days of Ford.

 

It should have a 232 Jeep I6 in there, with a ha-uuuuge gear ratio in the axles and a really low 4spd manual trans.

Dude, this thing is getting out of hand and a bit too complicated, you need to bail out on it. What street did you say this was located on again?

 

Pics of the trailer would help of course, but I dunno, $750 for both? I would think you could get him to $500 on the truck, so $250 for a trailer seems way more than fair. BUT, first I would give him the ole "well, $400 was about the best I could do on the truck, if I give you asking price on the truck can you throw in the trailer?" And he'll say he needs at least $800 for both and you say $700 and he says sold. Then you call me and I give you $800, you make a quick $100 finders fee and everybody is happy. Got it? Cool, let me know when I need to come pick it up. ;)

5.89's I do believe.

 

I learned to 4 wheel in a M715, back when I was a volunteer firefighter. We had one we used as a brush truck.

 

Unstoppable, but downright frightening to drive over 40 mph.

Thats no 258. Intake is on the wrong side, and its got an automatic conversion, should be a 232 4spd with a Dana 200 case.

 

No, the original engine in the M-715 was the Jeep 230 OHC "Tornado" inline 6. Not the AMC 232 or 258 (which are identical in outward appearance, both with the intake and exhause on the left side unlike the engine in this picture).

The 230 OHC Tornado had the intake on the left and exhaust on the right.

ah, humbly corrected. Now I'm curious as to the trans in that thing.

Right on the money I owned a '64 gladiator with the 230 tornado and 3 sp ;-- Big Head and the spark plugs seem to go in at an angle and in pairs....

That's an M-715. The biggest and baddest Jeep ever made. :D

 

:agree:

 

Here's one in action. You'll love the ending. :D

So many Jeep's, not enough time, money, or space to put them.

For 600 bucks?, oh yea I would. I've seen 715's in "action". I LOVED the end of the video where he kept draggin' the two around the pond as if to say "looky what I can do :brows: "......lol
