I have a 66 power wagon with a 251 and i like what you were saying about the oil filtration system. i need to look into that. Thanks for the video and tour.
Lower driver side of the block 3/4 of the way back. It should be like a flat spot with two drilled threaded holes or if it does not have it available it’ll just be a blank plate or threadless holes.
Hi Justin, fantastic set up. I have the same engine in my 1961 Australian dodge truck. And it’s currently running the stock E7T2 carb. I’m going to swap it to the 32/36 as you recommend. I am going to put extractor headers on. Not sure if you are aware but Langdon stovebolts do an attachment that bolt on under the stock inlet manifold and heat it with water from a base connected to thermostat housing to keep inlet manifold hot. Neat little set up for $30. I’m in Australia so probably not going to worry about installing it as we don’t get your winters here. Thanks for doing all that research on the carb set ups. Fantastic information!! Cheers
You know what's obnoxious, your video being out of focus so often. I really hope you improved this significantly because I couldn't even finish the video.
Hey Justin, thank you for the run down on your M37. My best friend left me his M37 that he had just finished restoring. The first mod I want to do is to move to the 489 ring and pinion set. LOL, the 489s will be my blue rope on this puppy. I am not as handy as you so I would like to sent the differential to someone like Robert Stall to do. Finding the 489s by itself hard to do. Do you have contact info for Bob?
Great job. Thanks for the details. Mine has a 6L GM ls, 4.89 diffs, and 9.00x16 bias ply tires on stock rims. Fun to drive with power steering power brakes and automatic transmission. 2000 rpm at 50 mph.
Great info. I am thankful for it. One item that could be improved is to tell your camera person to approximate the camera to the item instead of trying to zoom in from a distance. The Crab video was very interesting and informative, but the camera zoom did not allow for detail. Thank you for the info. Great work!
thks for the reply on water problem here is the prob. all gaskets have been replaced no way for water to be leaking into tank the cap has a new gasket i got this truck dec 2011 iv had this problem all along i have removed the inspected it nothing found to tell how its getting in there. i set a boat tank in the back of the bed put the same gas in no problem i switched gas stations still water
Frank Davidson Providing the gas cap is sealed up it’s probably the cork gasket on the top of the gas tank with a pick up and sending unit is it has that cover in the bed to access it it is not watertight and if that gasket is blown out water will sit on the fuel tank and run right in it you should have a drain on the back center of the tank put the front end up on some rampsLet it sit overnight then drain some off into a glass jar and you can see the water separated
jorge gonzalez The fastest I’ve ever been in it is 72mph, But it’s not recommended it’ll cruise 60-64 all day long, I never put disc brakes in it because the factory drums work great never had a problem never desired to replace them
Yo puse un 251a un M37 Es una adaptacion bien facil y es una maravilla como se comporta el vehiculo con el 251 !, anda mejor y es hasta mas economico de gasolina. El dueño actual,Es una amigo mio de años , lo quiso como de fabrica y de nuevo volvio el Dodge original ,pero Ay ! no anda como con el 251...
@@justindearborn7275 I instaled a 251 chrysler in a M37. Is a very easy adptation This M37 actualy is property a friend mine .. But he want the M 37 whith original engine The little Dodge But no run as the 251
juan asanelli The 251 is a much better engine in every way, the stock dodge 230 is a turd 💩, if he drove the 230 he may change his mind there pretty slow
@@justindearborn7275 YES SIR ! A great pitty The 251 was a Industrial engine for a welder Hobarth that never in use The dodge m37 idling in 3a ... Pretty!
Great info! Just a little blurry. Thank for taking the time to make it and upload it. Do you have a link to your friend from SLC channel? Can’t find it.
Justin Dearborn Ok. Yes, I am familiar with his channel and his truck modifications. Awesome truck. And yours is very cool too. About a month ago I bought a 1963 M37B1 and I am in the early stages of the learning process. Thanks!
Wow, great review! I was a mechanic in U.S.Army '90's-'00's and didn't know these existed. 😲 About six months ago this truck came up on RU-vid. Absolutely love the damn thing. Thanks for sharing!
wow dude you got all serious about it. Good stuff. My film company just bought two power wagons as our fleet vehicles, now the boss wants one of these. They have been the most fun trucks you could ever imagine, especially the carryall. We have a stock 47 survivor, a restored 49 and a restomod carryall with a hemi and m46 tranny on the same driveline.
Any chance I can see how you mounted the front engine mounts? I am trying to put a CDN military 251 with original transmission into a stock M37. I like the radiator solution with the electric fan. I was worried about how to move the radiator like the Canadians did. Many more questions if possilbe.
My father used to have a dodge power wagon just like this one.He never once had problems with the rear end or front end.It had the flat head six with a 4 speed standard transmission.
