Removing the Engine From My Rare Jet-Starting Jeep 

I've been waiting for this one to start. Awesome sauce. May suggest that whilst you leave the body as is, because it's in great condition, you apply the Mustie1 rust treatment to it, so that the rust stops in its tracks. If you seek out his video on how he keeps his flatbed WV buss from rusting any further (a specific wax and methodology) you won't be disappointed.

Am sure you know the "LPH 7" designates the jeep as serving onboard the USS GUADALCANAL (LPH-7). Laid down 9-1-61; launched 3-16-63 and commissioned 7-20-63. Decommissioned 8-31-94.

Used on aircraft carriers during the Korean War.

This is the update I've been waiting on! This thing is awesome

Can’t wait to see this Jeep drive!

In case you need a reference and are in the area, there is a restored one of these 2A short chop aircraft ones on the deck of the USS Midway in San Diego

Such a cool car on a great channel. Thanks from Amsterdam /holland

Pretty cool piece of history.

Excellent, you sure know your jeeps.

Looks like a magneto which allows it to start with a dead battery?

Do you plan to do anything to mitigate rust?

Thanks for sharing!

Cool little thing

Well done!

Where did you find it

When you are going to restore it?

Hell yeah I love your video as like this

Kinda rusty, crusty. Is this going to be fully functional with every system and switch operational when your done?

Anyone know where I can find a hurricane f4 engine for my 59 CJ5?. I’m having a heck of a time finding one...

I haven't seen your videos in more than a year and a half anything new ? 🤔

could you at least treat the bad rust

Pretty cool man, also I’m almost certain the lower hose has been replaced at some point looks like the gates logo on the sticker.

I've officially found my new favorite car RU-vid channel

Just looked up the engine rebuilding tag and found this, "PWC Norfolk was founded on June 15, 1948 as a Secretary of the Navy initiative to consolidate public works functions for a naval base. It was the first center to consolidate public works services for the Navy. PWC Norfolk initially operated under the management control of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, exercised through the Commander, Naval Operating Base Norfolk. PWC Norfolk continued to grow and expand."

Up until they decommissioned this unit, they are very well maintained, The Men/Woman who took care of those took there Job seriously. You can search GOV Publication on the old inter web for Manual for that type unit. search by number that stenciled on the HOOD. NC-2 which probably second version of this type unit while my time in service we had NC-8 Land Based but also used on Aircraft carriers.

Nice to meet your channel Turn&Burn. Just stumbled across this vid. Glad to have seen it. So i live in NewEngland Massachusetts. As it happens my grandfarther has 2 or 3 of these out in the back nine of our property. Thought those were the only ones around. Ours are not in as good of condition. But we have lots of the stuff that went with there's when they were in operation. A also have lots of other military stuff. He used to be licenced to buy from the government. Iam getting ready to start my own youtube channel now. Want to document history. Look forward to chatting with u. Sincerely, Pistol Pete's Repairing History.

So glad to see you finnaly fix this.

this takes me back to when i restored my 47 2a. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

It seems it has a more modern 134F instead of an L Head 134L. The engine does not fit under the hood.

You are awesome

Is say repair the rotten parts but don’t do anything about the rust

You should check out "Tarryl fixes all" he has one of those and did some videos featuring them and a club of enthusiast who have them in a wide range of conditions.

Good work

1 am probably 4 times your age and I seriously commend you for a good job. I hope you get this running and putting out the full voltage and amperage when being used on jets. Makes me wonder if this jobbie ever cranked an f86. Was it like 32 or 36v. And probably 80 amps would be more than this engine could muster when new. 50 amps at 32 volts would probably overtax this motor. When in grade school in Oregon a Portland National guard p80 jet flew over my school in the bright morning sunlight. The one with wingtip tanks. It was painted brilliant blood red and was very low and beautiful

As with anything the DoD ever done is they made T.O.'s for EVERYTHING. And since they did, I would most certainly locate one and refurbish this to the exact T.O. orders. That means everything, body included. Then you would have an exact refurbish Jeep like they used during those times. Not doing the body only makes it a running old Jeep, not an exact Jeep like the government order from the manufacture. I'm thinking you would get more heads turned if you make it like it came off the manufacturing line. JMHO

Dude, I cannot get enough of your videos. You're so knowledgeable and well studied, I just cant help but to ask for advice. My Papaw served in the european theatre, landing on Omaha 3rd wave, then continuing to advance, eventually ending up on the Rhine for the entirety of The Battle of the Bulge. When I could get him to speak, he told me many stories about traversing those conditions in jeeps and how well they did considering you could barely walk in the slop. One story in particular he said the convoy he was in came under air assault. of course in those situations and for good reason they scampered for the wooded areas for concealment. This raid in particular apparently struck my grandfather, "Shorty" as an opportunity to fight back. He manned the .50 in tow behind one of these beastly little war horses, and effectively shot down two German Luftwaffe's. I still envision this today and am in awe still yet. My Paw has been gone for a decade now, and I am as heartbroken today as I was when he passed. I sincerely want to honor him, yet still have a very capable beast in the hills of East KY. If you have any interest in helping me with a gameplan to make this happen, Id be forever grateful. I have no interest at all in destroying a nice original, beating around these appalachian mountain trails would no doubt be more than it deserves, a great replica tribute sounds like the better option. Please consider giving me some proper guidance in re-creating what ill properly name, "Shorty's WarHorse". Thanks in advance, -Brandon Spencer 859-490-0651 jamesbrandonspencer@gmail.com

I bet it will be very different of a drive when it is done!

How do you put a value on a old jeep..i,m having a very hard time trying to sell my 1965 cj5 willys..anyway I'll keep trying,

You even need radiator i know only one company who makes original replacement made same way they first were made. Have alot of the original tooling to make them.

I love the idea of keeping as much original material on this vehicle as possible. It may not be beautiful, but it's real.

a rare jeep they also made a 3 wheel jeep for towing airplanes on a aircraft carrier front drive with a jockey wheel at back

👍👍

Wowowow awsome

Doesent look like it starts with a jet to me (jk)

That seat cover comes off a M-151 mutt .

the LPH-7 was the USS Guadalcanal it was decommissioned at Norfolk in 1994.
